Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 500

[Chapter 498 Brewing Storm]

, Final Preacher, among the many cultists that Duncan has come into contact with so far, these guys named “Preachers” are undoubtedly the most mysterious and strange group of them—they are far in

number They are less than Sun believers and Annihilation believers, but their ability to do things is unparalleled. Their cunning and purpose is a mystery, and so far no one knows what kind of “organizational form” they have, nor can they find out their approximate number and hiding methods .

And compared to the weirdness and evilness of their acting styles, Duncan cares more about their own “characteristics”-the suspected non-linear existence on the timeline, and this is the case per capita.

The Church of the Four Gods and the authorities of the city-states in this world collectively refer to the Last Yan Missionaries, the Sun Sect, and the Annihilation Sect as the three major cults, but in Duncan’s view, the degree of evil and the painting style of those “preachers” are so weird, It should have been taken out by itself.

“Based on the information we have so far, the final missionaries should be divided into two categories, one is the extreme cultists who are completely crazy, and the other is the ‘rational scholars’ who have reason and look polite,” Long Table 1 On the side, Morris slowly cleaned his pipe, while thinking, “The latter will take the initiative to contact people, and try to…’guide’ the people they choose, and judging from the frequency of appearance, these ‘sensible The number of ‘pai’ seems to be far less than that of ‘crazy pie’.”

“In the reports of contact with heresies that I know, all the recorded final missionaries are crazy,” Fanna nodded, “this shows that Those lunatics account for the vast majority of these ‘missionaries’, and the rational ones are just a special case.” “

After all, they are a group of people who have been entangled with the subspace all day long – it is normal to be mentally abnormal,” Agou beside him He said casually, and then quickly raised his head to look at Duncan, “Ah, Captain, I didn’t mention you…”

Duncan ignored Agou’s nagging, he just thought quietly, and suddenly said after a while: “Whether it’s crazy The wise and the wise, these two kinds of final missionaries actually have one thing in common—they are both trying to make a move on ‘history’.”

On both sides of the long table, everyone fell into short thoughts, and Agatha, who hadn’t said much, raised her head: “You mean, the last missionary who came into contact with the Frost Queen at the beginning was also for a certain purpose.” The future’…”

“Maybe we should try to look at history from the ‘perspective’ of the final missionaries,” Duncan said unhurriedly, “We assume that they are really a group of ‘time stowaways’ that exist in a non-linear way , so what does ‘history’ in our eyes look like to them?”

There was silence in the cabin, and after a moment of silence, Morris’ voice suddenly sounded: “…everything has happened, but everything can be done If it doesn’t happen, the direction of the world can be customized, you just need to find a suitable ‘correction point’…” “

That’s right, the three missionaries who came to the Lost Homeland a hundred years ago, came into contact with cold water more than 50 years ago. The “mysterious scholar” of the Frost Queen, their actions have greatly affected the subsequent historical trend to a certain extent. From the perspective of “intervening in history”, the way of acting of the crazy and rational final missionary is actually It’s the same,” Duncan nodded, “and the difference between them is that those crazy missionaries seem to want to completely destroy history, while those rational ones seem to want to ‘correct’ history to something they expected direction…”

“Correction of history…” Fanna frowned tightly, “This is a dangerous word. The fire spreaders are committed to protecting our history from external forces. They are following the last missionaries. The Orthodox Church with the most dealings, and according to the teachings of the ‘Eternal Burning Fire Tower Ruijin’, history has its own rigor and purity, it cannot be touched, it cannot be reshaped – for ‘history’, ‘correction’ It is also a kind of destruction…”

“Then what if it is to ‘restore’ the destroyed history?” Duncan asked, and then added, “Of course, I am not referring to the actions of the last missionary. I just became curious about this question.”

“…Sorry, this involves deeper and more complicated teachings of the Church of the Firepath,” Fanna thought for a while, then lowered her head with a hint of apology, “They are four One of the most mysterious actions and the most difficult teachings in the Church of God, and my understanding of them is also very limited.”

“Is that so…” Duncan nodded slowly while thinking, and his eyes slowly swept over the edge of the long table—the figures of Agatha, Vanna and Morris came into his sight.

“…There are still few experts in fire transmitters.” He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

The expressions on the faces of Fan Na and Morris became subtle in an instant.

Agatha didn’t change much—because she had just arrived, she didn’t realize it for a while.

Duncan himself didn’t realize what was strange about his words at all—he just casually sighed as he thought about it, and changed the subject in the next second: “Fanna, do you think the fire spreaders know that ‘sanity is finally gone’?” Do the missionaries exist?”

Fan Na quickly put aside the slightly disrespectful thoughts in her mind, and after thinking for a while, she answered honestly: “I’m not sure, but logically… I think they know, at least they should know.” I have noticed.”

“The followers of ‘Tarijin’ have been dealing with heretics and evil spirits who try to destroy history for thousands of years,” Morris also nodded, “The fire spreaders are professional and keen in this regard, Judging from the current information, those sane missionaries of the end have already started their activities at least a hundred years ago, unless they really only showed up those two times in such a long time, and happened to completely avoid each time Otherwise, the church of the fire-bearers must have noticed them, but I don’t know why…the fire-bearers don’t seem to have taken any major actions.” “I will try to contact the Cathedral of Storms

, Let’s see if His Majesty the Pope can find out anything from the fire spreader,” Fanna immediately said, “In any case, rational cultists are often more damaging than simple lunatics, although they seem to be friendly at present. , even seems to have good intentions, but I really can’t believe that a group of guys who deal with the subspace all day long will have real reason and kindness…” After

Fan Na finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and after a moment of stunned He hurriedly turned his head to look at Duncan and added: “Ah, Captain, I didn’t mention you…”

Duncan remained expressionless.

He always felt as if he had heard this sentence just now.

Then he waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t care, then he thought for a while, and finally said slowly: “We don’t just want to contact the Cathedral of Storms, and the news we want to convey is not just about those dying missionaries.

Everyone at the scene looked at each other, and Fan Na was the first to react: “You want to ‘warn’ outside—just like before?” Duncan

nodded with a serious expression.

“Perhaps, this is more dangerous than the previous situation. The ‘Awakening of the Ancient God’ event that occurred in Frost may reappear in a short period of time. Even at this moment, just below a certain city-state, there may have been There is only one false copy of the ancient god who has awakened—the Frost Queen, but there are many city-states in the boundless sea. In order to avoid being caught off guard, at least let the upper echelons of various churches and city-states know the existence of this crisis.” He said while

saying As he spoke, he looked up at the figures on both sides of the long table.

“Vanna, you go to the Cathedral of the Storm, Morris, you find a way to contact the Academy of Truth, Agatha, you should also have a channel to directly talk to the top of the Church of Death – you should try to complete what we are discussing here today All the things that have passed have been conveyed to your church, including the real structure of the city-state, the situation related to the Lord of the Deep, and the information about the last missionary. “In addition, there are the Explorers’

Association, Lawrence, and Lucy. If you want to use a safer method, you can warn the Explorers’ Association without causing panic-a warning about the awakening of the ancient gods.

“The captains of the Boundless Sea are a keen and experienced group of people, and they are well-informed. They are the best at discovering whether there are any weird signs in any corner of the world.

” Finding a way to contact other city-states as a consul is also trying to get other cities to establish an early warning of the phenomenon of “ancient god awakening” without causing panic. “

He said this in one breath, then organized his thoughts, further explained and emphasized: “Remember, tell the church as complete information as possible. After all, in the extraordinary field, they are more or less ‘professional’, and There are many hands.

“As for the city-state and the Explorers’ Association, you must be careful, because this involves too many ordinary people-you go back and think about how to convey this ‘warning’ without revealing too much hidden knowledge, remember, The goal is not for them to uncover the secrets in the deep sea, but for them to carefully pay attention to the strange signs that may appear on the city-state and the route.

“I’m done, what else do you want to add? Duncan

raised his eyes and looked quietly at both sides of the long table.

At this moment, everyone in the cabin—even Shirley and Alice—suddenly felt a kind of…a huge wave was brewing. Atmosphere.

A storm capable of shocking the entire world is gradually taking shape along with a series of decisions and arrangements made by the captain. In this gloomy cabin illuminated by dark green fire, in this secret gathering with only a dozen or so people participating In it, it seems that the direction of the world has been faintly doomed.

A feeling that he is participating in history, and even shaping history, gradually emerges from Lawrence’s heart. He subconsciously feels a little short of breath and his heart is pounding. “

This is really true There is going to be a storm…”

The old captain, who had just become a member of the lost fleet, couldn’t help muttering to himself.

“It’s not that there is a storm, but the storm is already approaching,” said Agatha who was sitting next to him. Shaking his head, he said softly, “It’s just that no one has noticed all this—and now, we’re going to open the window. “
