Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 515
[Chapter 513 Extinct]
The shouts from the street outside made Lucrezia and Taran Eyre stunned at the same time, and then their eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the window.
There was still warm and bright “sunshine” pouring in from the window, so that in the first few seconds, Lucrecia and Taran Ayer didn’t notice anything unusual in the environment, but soon, they noticed The “sunlight” coming in through the window seems a bit inconsistent compared with before, and the overall brightness of the skylight outside the window has decreased.
Lucrezia’s eyes were fixed, and in the next second, it turned into countless scattered pieces of colored paper with a “bang”, circling and rushed out of the window. The flying pieces of paper flew up to the roof like a whirlwind and landed on a platform. The figure of the sea witch re-condensed on the sky—Lucrecia raised her head and looked in the direction where the sun should be hanging high at this moment.
A huge dark sphere is quietly floating in the sky, and the two rune rings on the edge of the sphere emit a dazzling golden glow, and there are frequent dim breakpoints between the two circles of light, as if the lamps are not in good contact. As if it will be completely extinguished at any time.
Since the luminous subject has fallen into darkness, the brightness of the entire sun at this moment is only those two circles of rune circles—theoretically, the entire city-state should now be plunged into darkness as it approaches night.
But there is still sunlight shining on Qingfeng Harbor, and this light comes from the sea not far away—the luminous geometric body like a hill is still floating quietly on the sea at this moment, and the light golden “sunlight” diffused from that direction has avoided The city fell into darkness, which was the source of the “sunlight” that Lucrezia and Taran El had seen in the room before.
The sound of clothes rubbing against the building and panting came to her ears. Lucrezia lowered her head and saw a middle-aged elf with messy short blond hair struggling to climb up the drain pipe——Talan Ai Master Er climbed onto the platform with century-old frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis.
The talent of elves is awesome.
“Huh…huh…Ms. Lucrezia, you are right…huh…I may need a little physical exercise, just paying attention to diet and nutrition can’t…huh…make sure you are strong…”
“I don’t think you pay attention to your diet and nutrition—the ‘vital sign maintenance meal’ is only for maintaining your vital signs,” Lucrezia said blankly, but her eyes were still fixed on the sky hanging in the distance. “As for now, let’s take a look at the sky first, it’s a bigger problem.”
Taran El took a breath, raised his head and looked in that direction.
Against the pale golden radiance that slanted over from the sea surface, the dark sphere hanging high in the sky looked even more strange—the vision 001-sun, which once protected the world for 10,000 years, looked like after it was extinguished. so scary.
It’s like a horrible hole leading to the end of all things, or a rotten and dying eyeball, silently overlooking the whole world in the sky.
“…Oh, it looks like you’re in serious trouble…” Taran Ayer finally managed to get a few words out of his throat, his bloodshot eyes slowly narrowed as if he wanted to Focusing to see more details on the surface of the dark sphere, “The worst thing…” “The
city guards have begun to maintain order, and it seems that the mechanized training day after day is still useful.” Lucrezia lowered her head , Looking at the street below, steam walkers and tactical teams with the logos of the city-state guards and the Academy of Truth have appeared at the intersection, and the panicked citizens are trying to restore calm under the guidance of – but even so, the overall chaos in the block is still It continues, and I don’t know what will develop into it.
Everyone in this world is always preparing for “weird disasters”, but in any case, the impact of “the sun going out” on ordinary people obviously exceeds all training and plans.
“I want to go back to the Brilliant Star to confirm the situation,” Lucrezia suddenly withdrew her gaze from the block, turned her head and said quickly to Taran El, “That ship is near the ‘Falling Light Body’, maybe it can Collected useful data.”
Taran El opened his mouth when he heard the words, but before he could say anything, the “Sea Witch” in front of him had once again turned into countless swirling pieces of colored paper, and flew out of the circle in the blink of an eye. off the roof platform and flew to the distant port.
The elf scholar was just thrown on the roof. He was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and glanced at the direction he climbed up just now.
“You at least send me down…”
He muttered depressingly, got up slowly, and was about to follow the drainpipe back to the balcony on the second floor, but at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed another a place.
It was a nearby building, the “Tower of Flowing Clouds” at the City-State University—it was the property of the Academy of Truth, and most of the elves directly called it “The Tower”.
The top of the tower is equipped with various observation devices for monitoring the weather, observing the sky, and its special filters and telescope sets can also be used to observe the sun and other distant things.
“…It is not wise to observe the sun at such a time…”
The elf scholar grumbled, then took out the amulet symbolizing the God of Wisdom Rahmu from his closet, and put it on his forehead for a short prayer, praying With the blessing of ignorance.
“Okay, now I’m a fool.”
Taran El said, put away the talisman, took a deep breath, then briefly judged the distance and relative position of several nearby rooftops, and moved towards one of which he thought was the most suitable. Speed up and run in the direction you grasped, and jump forward.
During the two seconds when he broke free from gravity, felt the wind blowing across his cheeks, and his body passed the roof, a very valuable question suddenly appeared in the mind of this elf university student—”Why didn’t I call my students to help
? “
…
The whole world fell into darkness, and a strange sky light that seemed to be dusk, but more gloomy than dusk, shrouded the boundless sea.
The huge extinguished sphere hangs in the sky like a terrifying hollow. It has not moved since it was extinguished. The two circles of rune structures around the sphere exude the only remaining “afterglow”. When the sun is extinguished, that The two circles of light even seemed a little dazzling.
However, the “dazzling” light projected onto the world can only barely dispel the darkness of the entire world.
When Duncan came to the deck, he raised his head with a particularly solemn expression, stared at the pitch-black sphere, and said nothing.
Everyone ran out of the room and gathered on the deck, looking at the strange and inexplicable sky, Fanna was praying in a low voice, Morris frowned, Shirley hugged Agou tightly and hid behind Duncan, Ni Na held Duncan’s arm, her face full of nervousness and panic.
The latter’s eyes already had faint golden radiance undulating.
Only Alice showed incredible “calmness” at this moment – she just held her head with one hand and looked up at the extinguished sun curiously, as if she suddenly saw something new and weird, and she didn’t look afraid at all. .
Lacking common sense, she seemed unable to fully understand what was happening at this moment.
A swaying shadow suddenly appeared in the air near Duncan, and the shadow quickly expanded and contracted, forming the silhouette of Agatha.
“The spirit world is normal, Captain,” she said quickly to Duncan, “the rest of the ship is fine.”
Duncan nodded slightly.
As a mirror image, Agatha can travel in the mirror world, and can check every cabin on the Lost Home in an instant. At the same time, she has “eyes” that can see through the spirit world, and can confirm the “deep world” around the Lost Home at any time In many cases, the information she “observed” was even more comprehensive than the information Duncan “perceived”.
“Captain,” Shirley hugged Agou’s head and looked up at Duncan, her normally laughing face was full of fear and panic at the moment, “What’s going on… Is it what you warned before?” Duncan
said Time did not answer Shirley, but frowned and observed the sky carefully. After a long time, he whispered to himself: “The creation of the world did not appear.” “The creation of the world?” Morris on the
side After hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that I looked up at the sky, “Indeed, the creation of the world is still hidden, that is to say…”
“The sun is still in effect,” Duncan nodded lightly, “it’s just that the ‘glow’ function has been turned off for some reason, but its suppressive effect on the creation of the world is still there.” “Then will the
sun light up again?” Ellie Si suddenly turned her head and asked curiously.
Duncan had no answer.
But he still nodded slightly: “It should be – this huge vision has been running stably for 10,000 years, even if something goes wrong, it won’t suddenly collapse completely, at least…it shouldn’t be today.”
Alice Relieved, he smiled happily: “Oh, that’s good, I haven’t dried the quilt yet.”
Listening to what this heartless puppet said, Duncan couldn’t help but smiled slightly, and then he lowered his head. head, and rubbed Nina’s hair.
Nina raised her head, pale golden flames were burning in her pupils, and the brilliance of stars was brewing in the flames.
She nodded slightly, and then let go of Duncan’s arms.
A moment later, a dazzling light suddenly rose from the deck——Nina turned into an arc of flames in an instant, and the shrunken prominence jumped around Duncan twice, then jumped onto the mast lightly and flew into the sky , and finally hung high on the top of the tallest mast of the Lost Homeland – hovering stably at a place tens of meters higher than the mast.
The arc-shaped flames hovered there, and the flames condensed into a small scorching sun, and the “sunshine” once again illuminated the Lost Home and a small piece of sea around it.
In the distant sky, Phenomenon 001 was still in an extinguished state, but at least within the range illuminated by the “Shard of the Sun”, reassuring warmth and light enveloped everyone again.
Duncan exhaled lightly. He knew that in this situation, the light is the most reassuring.
“Okay, now it’s time for me to check the situation in other places.”
