Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 499

[Chapter 497 Duncan’s Bold Idea]

was accompanied by the dark green flames illuminating the cabin, and the sound of distant waves outside the cabin gradually seemed to come from a misty dream, and those secrets from the endless deep sea, from that dark and cold place, gradually seemed to make sense Like a creepy shadow, it seeps into everyone’s mind.

The only sanctuaries for mortals on the boundless sea are all built on the corpses of indescribable giant beasts—withered tentacles hanging from the bottom of the city-state, pale and terrifying eyes staring at the endless sea

; , the flesh and blood of the ancient gods built everything in the world. What happened in Frost was not an invasion, but the “awakening” of the ancient gods from their own creations; the four gods do not necessarily

exist in a stable order, and they also have the possibility of falling out of control Sex, and a similar “out of control” process may have happened more than once in this world. There are four gods who protect the world now, maybe it’s just because they are the only gods who can still keep awake

; The cataclysm will not be the last time. As the situation of Youshen Shengzhu further deteriorates, and as the flaws in the “Creation Blueprint” continue to enlarge over time, similar “awakenings” are very likely to happen all over the world. The mistakes of the ancient gods Duplicates emerge from the depths of the sea, from the depths of city-states, and even… from every mortal.

In a calm and calm tone, Duncan told his followers what he knew in the deep sea and what he deduced based on the available information.

Afterwards, the cabin fell into a long dead silence.

Even the solid-headed Alice and the heartless Shirley calmed down obediently and realized the seriousness of the problem…probably.

After a long time, Fan Na was finally the first to break the silence. She took a deep breath, and the gloom in her expression seemed to gather a cloud of dark clouds: “If I hadn’t heard you say this yourself, I would definitely have included this information. Every word of my words is like the crazy ravings of the final missionary…”

“Even the craziest preacher of the end could not make up something of this level,” Morris said slowly, picking up the pipe to his lips, but found that the tobacco inside had been extinguished at some point, and smiled wryly Then he put it down, “Ah, yes, the final missionary, and the final missionary who dealt with the Frost Queen—one of the craziest things in this world is that some of the warp believers Can you stay awake…”

Tirian frowned, and after a long silence, he finally couldn’t help raising his head: “Father, is all this information true?”

Just after he finished speaking, he felt that he had asked a stupid question. But this stupid question is so necessary at this moment—everyone sitting at the long table probably has this thought in their minds.

“At least this is what I have seen and heard,” Duncan said lightly. “Of course, one-sided information may be misleading. Even the most obvious clues can have multiple interpretations.” In addition, the Frost Queen does

not She must be telling the truth, even if she is telling the truth, she may make mistakes—we can only deduce the possibility closest to the truth based on the information we have at this stage. “

“Is it the closest possibility to the truth at this stage…” Tirian repeated this sentence in a low voice, and then asked, “Did the queen mention that if other city-states have ‘ancient gods awakening’ similar to Frost?” What kind of omen will there be? “

“No,” Duncan shook his head, “she can’t confirm what the mechanism of this ‘awakening’ is. Perhaps the only way is to enter the deep sea and directly confirm the state of the main body of the deep master.” “

After the voice fell, several eyes on the scene fell on Agou who was hiding in the corner with his head hunched.

“Don’t look at me!” “Agou jumped up almost instantly, his huge head shaking, “It’s not feasible, and I can’t get close to the Holy Lord, let alone take people in…” “But you can open the door to the deep sea

. You can even run through the passage with Shirley,” Duncan looked seriously at the only deep demon on the scene, “You also said that the deep hound is a breed of demons born near the Holy Lord, your ‘home’ ‘Just beside the Lord. “

“It’s a shallow passage, it can only pass through the edge of the deep sea, and it’s specially used for running,” Agou saw that everyone was staring at him, and after hesitating for two seconds, he could only reveal the secrets—— For many years in the past, these secrets have always been the trump cards for it and Shirley to save their lives. “The deep sea is a more complicated and weird place than you imagined. It is not a whole, and there is no connection between various ‘regions’. Continuous existence…

“You can see the deep area from the shallow area, but there is no suitable way, and you can’t walk” to the destination in ten thousand years, where the ‘distance’ is an illusion, and the ‘move’ It is also an illusion…

“I have been ‘exiled’ by the deep sea. Although the specific reason is not clear, maybe it is because of the “heart”. Since many years ago, I have been unable to open the door to the Holy Lord. On the other hand, I am now very unpopular with the ‘citizens’ over there, even if I just pass through the safe zone of the shallow area, it will attract countless demons to besiege… “

And Even if these factors are put aside, I can’t just bring ‘people’ into there. The deep demon can only take his own contracted symbiote through the passage——I can only take Shirley, and I can’t take others. “

Agou crackled and said such a long list, and then carefully observed the reactions of the people around him, especially Duncan, and added with a shrinking neck: “I’m not making excuses, Captain, you heard it too, it’s difficult Indeed a lot. “

Duncan was not annoyed by the many difficulties that Agou talked about, he just thought about it for a while, and then said thoughtfully: “You mean, the space in the deep sea is not continuous? “

… I can probably understand it this way,” Agou thought for a while and nodded, “I can’t tell you the specifics—I’m currently studying “Three Conjectures on Asymmetric Space-Time” by Professor Brandauer. Maybe I can explain it to you more clearly after I finish studying. “

Duncan didn’t care about the second part of Agou’s words, he just continued to think, and asked another question: “But I still remember you mentioned that in those years when the Lost Homeland was completely out of control, it once smashed through the entire Youshen deep sea. “

Agou’s expression (although its expression is very abstract) changed instantly, and the whole skeleton creaked and froze.

Duncan thought that the other party hadn’t remembered it, and added some details casually: “You said, it fell from the real world to the subspace, and then floated up from the subspace, traveling through the worlds like repeated vibrations, smashing through the entire world every time. The spirit world and the deep sea—in this process, is it equivalent to breaking through the ‘space fault’ in the deep sea?”

This time, not only Agou’s expression was abstract, but the expressions of everyone in the cabin were wonderful—— A feeling of horror enveloped everyone, even Lucrezia on the other side of the crystal ball.

“Boat…Captain!” Ah Gou’s broken voice finally made a sound, every bone in it was trembling, “Don’t say such a terrible thing…you really don’t intend to… smash… “

Father, please be careful,” even Lucrezia, who hadn’t said much and looked quite raw, couldn’t help breaking the silence. She looked nervously at Duncan on the side of the crystal ball, as if she was afraid of herself. My father will turn back into the bloodless and tearless terrifying “God” in the next second, “It is never a good idea to let the Lost Homeland return to an out-of-control state to break open the gate of the deep sea, even as a ‘scientific research project’ …This is a bit too radical.”

Duncan didn’t expect that such a bold idea would attract such a big reaction from others, so he shook his head: “Don’t worry, I won’t do such an extreme’ test. ‘——I’ve always been a cautious person.”

Everyone was obviously relieved.

But then Duncan changed the subject again and added: “However, even from a cautious point of view, this ‘old incident’ has provided me with an idea-some properties of the Lost Country can ignore the deep sea. Space fault, I will do some research on this basis to see if I can open the door to that place while ensuring safety…” Everyone’s hearts suddenly rose again

…

But at least, this time, no one raised strong objections as before. Only Morris and Lucrezia once again emphasized the need for “safety” and “caution” as scholars-looking at their attitudes, obviously Is he still worried that the captain will drive the Lost Homeland into the deep sea on a whim one day…

Fortunately, Duncan quickly switched to the next topic.

“In addition to the state of the Youshen Lord, I am more concerned about another thing now,” he rubbed his chin, and said while thinking, “Those final missionaries—strictly speaking, those who have reason, act Final missionaries whose style is the exact opposite of ‘cultist’.”

He turned his head, his eyes falling on Tirian.

“You once mentioned to Fanna that there were three final missionaries who visited the Lost Homeland and talked with me all night?”

Tirian immediately bowed his body, his expression seemed a little embarrassed: “Yes, father, at that time I There is no way to confirm your…’status’, so I talked to Miss Fanna about some ‘old things’ about you.” “It’s okay,” Duncan waved his hand, “I can’t remember

many things back then, so you can remember On the contrary, it is a good thing.”

He calmly re-emphasized his “amnesia” due to the influence of the subspace, and at the same time confirmed the changes in the expressions of Tirian and Lucrezia, and then continued: “I think That said, I have a hunch that sooner or later we’ll have to deal with those ‘end-of-sense missionaries’ again.” Morris subconsciously said, “Why do you judge?” “Because they seem to be committed to participating in

far

-reaching ‘ “Historical events’,” Duncan adjusted his sitting posture, and said slowly, “and the movement caused by the Lost Home… has become bigger and bigger.”
