Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 487

[Chapter 485 “Children”]

The Frost Queen was silent for more than ten seconds. In those purple eyes that were as clear and quiet as jewels, she couldn’t see through her mood at the moment, until the silence was almost frozen into suffocation. She nodded lightly: “Oh.”

Then she thought about it again, and asked: “Then how is Frost’s situation now?”

Duncan looked into her eyes and said in a calm tone: “…Tirion It is the new consul, and the Sea Mist Fleet is taking over the city-state, and the remaining Frost Navy will be reorganized.”

Lei Nora showed a smile on her face: “Ah, Tirian, one of the possibilities… Destiny is really a one-off. This result is not bad, what do you think?”

Duncan did not respond, but continued to calmly say: “There is another thing, the current ruler of the city-state church obeys my orders.”

Ray Nora Finally showing a slightly surprised expression, she tilted her head slightly: “Huh? It sounds like…you are the actual controller of Frost now?” “

I’m not interested in controlling a city–but you can I think.”

“Now I am more and more curious about what happened to make Frost’s situation like this,” Lei Nora’s expression became serious, “I have arranged many things, but your appearance is above all the plans. In addition, you mentioned a disaster, but in my prediction, even if it loses control to a certain extent, the situation will not deteriorate to the extent you said…” “The army of replicas in the deep sea has invaded

Frost , a mirror image city-state is about to float up to the real world,” Duncan said in a deep voice, “while you were trying to appease this tentacle in the deep sea, a group of cultists noticed the power that escaped from him—and Frost The city-state’s continuous mining of the boiling gold mine has ‘helped’ those heretics to a certain extent.”

Then Duncan did not hide anything, and he told the former Queen about the things that happened in Frost, including his own intervention subsequent changes.

Lei Nora did not interrupt from the beginning to the end, she listened quietly, until Duncan finished speaking, she let out a long sigh of relief, with a complicated smile on her face: “Compared to the ancient gods in the deep sea , it’s true that crazy humans are more terrifying.”   Lei Nora nodded slightly: “I wonder if you have heard that I am a natural psychic user?”

Then she paused and sighed in relief: “It’s okay, but in the worst direction, there is a not too bad ending – it’s good that most people survive.” “Even if the city-state eventually becomes

our The property of this ‘Shadow of Warp’?” Duncan asked deliberately.

Lei Nora just smiled, and then looked into Duncan’s eyes seriously: “Then you must become the most powerful guardian in the history of Frost.” “Your

attitude towards me is different from others,” Duncan was a little emotional, “Since I regained my humanity, I have come into contact with many people. Most of them seem to be taken aback. Few people can remain calm when they first meet me, let alone such an optimistic attitude like you. “

Lei Nora shook her head: “This isn’t optimism, it’s a fact. If you have regained your humanity and helped Frost, then you will naturally be the most powerful guardian of this city-state. I know most of you People have an instinctive fear of this, but I have embraced fear for too long and am used to seeing the real face of things through fear.” “…

Now it’s my turn to ask questions,” Duncan just said after hearing what the Frost Queen said. After being silent for two or three seconds, he organized his words and said, “When did the copy of the Youshen Lord…invade the real world? Will a similar ‘invasion’ happen again?” “Sorry,

first I can’t give a clear answer to this question,” Lei Nora showed a trace of apology on her face, “When I became aware of His existence, He had already appeared in the deep sea, and in the first few contacts , I only heard a voice… He said that he was a wrong copy, and he said that he needed to terminate his operation.” “

Contact?” Duncan noticed the word instantly, “How did you ‘contact’ him in the first place? And listen to what you mean… This duplicate body took the initiative to tell you the situation, and even asked you for help?” “…   I have indeed heard rumors in this regard, they say that you can even know everything from ancient to modern.”

modern .” Psykers… can really ‘listen’ to ‘sounds’ that ordinary people can’t touch,” Lei Nora seemed to be lost in memories, and said slowly while thinking, “When I was very young, I often heard Those whispers from unknown sources, or seeing weird and bizarre scenes in sleep, just like most innate psychics, these terrible “diseases” are very dangerous, and even threatened the caregiver beside me on several occasions——

“Can you imagine? You are taking care of a two or three-year-old child, and then the child is only dreaming in a deep sleep, and suddenly there will be deadly screams and shrinking shadows in the room… After realizing the frequent horrors in your home After being the youngest, my parents had to send me to church, and like other natural psykers, I was placed in the care of… ‘professionals’.

“I grew up to twelve years old in the deepest cellar of the cathedral, armed silent monks and ascetics as my nurses, specially made shackles and collars as my toys, and a blessed iron cage as my In my bed, the gatekeeper came to check three times a week to make sure that my mind was still on the human side-until my twelfth birthday, my spirit and will tended to grow, and my cognition became clear. The Archbishop thought that I Having stabilized on the ‘human’ side, I was blessed and baptized, and announced that I was a human being.

” After that, I received rigorous training to adapt and control my talents, and at the same time learn to work with my own The ‘nightmare’ coexisted peacefully. In four years, I gradually realized that my ‘dream’ is essentially a resonance with the world, and the murmurs, lights and shadows in the dream come from those wandering outside the boundaries of reality, The beings who are trying to establish a connection with the real world, after confirming that my mind can bear it, the instructors taught me to use special methods to listen to those voices, and maintain myself in the process… “And it is in this process that

I My ‘perception’ began to be frequently led to the deep sea, and I began to perceive… His existence.

” Or, He began to perceive my existence.

“Every natural psyker will have his own tendency to resonate, some tend to hear the voices in history, most of them will become outstanding archaeologists and occult scholars, and some tend to hear the voices of the four gods, As long as they can live to adulthood, they are almost destined to be ‘saints’, and the more unfortunate ones, they will resonate with the subspace-ninety-nine percent of these people will not be able to leave the church cellar alive, and the few who survive will become extremely The rare ‘Keeper of Secrets’ or ‘Secret Saints’ are retained by the church.

” And I, established a sympathy with an awakened ancient god in the deep sea. “

Lei Nora stopped, and her eyes looked towards the end of the room, looking at the dark and chaotic fragmented land, so the darkness surged under her gaze, and the chaotic light and shadow representing the subspace faded away. Now, the floating island in the endless deep sea and the silent “pillar” appear in the dark depths.

That is her resonance, her nightmare, her fear and responsibility, the beginning and the end.

“In fact, most of the time , I couldn’t hear what ‘He’ was saying at all – at first, I thought it was because of my own lack of strength and lack of control over the spiritual resonance, but as time went by, I found that the reason was actually this’ Old Gods’ body.

“He is incomplete. He is just a ‘fake’ copied from a larger individual. He woke up in this dark sea without knowing anything. His chaotic and broken thinking was filled with only one thought–error , Stop immediately.

” He repeated this thought in my mind thousands, tens of thousands of times. “

Duncan finally spoke softly: “So, you started the diving plan?” ”   Duncan didn’t speak for a while, but slowly got up from the chair, came to the end of the room, and looked thoughtfully at the “scenery” of the deep sea emerging from the darkness, and the “scenery” that pierced through the cold sky like a giant pillar reaching the sky. Frost’s “blueprint” tentacles.   After a long time, he turned his head slightly: “So he didn’t have any malicious intentions? “

“No, I became the Frost Queen first,” Lei Nora said lightly, “It took a little effort, but only by controlling the entire city-state can I have more ways to investigate and confirm that I’heard” content, and in the process, I discovered the anomaly in the depths of the Boiling Gold Mine, and the connection between all of these and the ‘deep sea’ – the abyss plan is the final result, for this final result, I made A lot of preparation. “

“There is no malice, and no kindness,” Ray Nora said, “In fact, He doesn’t even have what can be called ‘wisdom’—only a short piece of messy and broken He can’t even understand his own existence, and of course he can’t talk about his ‘attitude’ towards those small and fragile creatures on the sea… “

He just exists, exists in pain and confusion , exists in this icy darkness, but such a simple ‘existence’ is enough to subvert our delicate and fragile so-called ‘civilized world’. “

Duncan muttered softly: “Existence itself is a threat…”

Ray Nora’s voice came from behind him a moment later: “Now I can answer your second question.

“Will a similar ‘invasion’ happen again—I think…it is possible, and even certain to happen.” Duncan turned his head

in an instant: “Why?”

“Because this is not an ‘invasion’, Holy Lord You Didn’t ‘enter’ our reality from His domain – He doesn’t need to.

“His ‘ingredients’ are naturally present in the real world, in every deep sea, every city-state, and even every human body , what happened in the frosty deep sea was not an ‘invasion’, but an…’awakening’. “

Lee Nora slowly opened her hands, but with a strange calm look on her face, she looked into Duncan’s eyes, and said what she had learned in half a century of nightmare sleep, The greatest truth——

“Captain Duncan, in a sense, all of us, even the city-states under our feet, are the children of the ancient gods. “
