Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 516
[Chapter 514 In the Dark]
Purand, the extinction of the sun has of course brought chaos throughout the city – but before the chaos can grow to dangerous proportions, the timely presence of city guards and defenders has the situation under control.
The melodious bells from the chapel reverberated over the block. The bells seemed to contain the power to calm people’s minds and regain their courage. Steam walkers rattled along the streets and alleys. The latest orders from the city hall were played on the radio.
The heavily armed guards quickly walked through the crowd, checking the situation of the night shelters in various places, and checking whether any “filth” that should not appear in the real world had grown in the sudden darkness.
Heidi immediately lit up all the lights in the house—from gas lamps and oil lamps with divine power to bright enough electric lamps, and used these lights to dispel the darkness brought about by the extinguishing of the sun, as well as dispel the tension in her heart.
The mother’s voice came from the direction of the sofa: “Relax, Heidi, you’ll fall if you run around, the end of the world hasn’t come yet.” Heidi turned her head and saw that her mother was sitting
on the sofa as usual, and she had picked up the few letters she had temporarily put down because of the darkness.
“The sun is out! This is terrible!” Heidi was surprised by her mother’s calmness at this moment, and she couldn’t calm down at this moment, “Can you still read the letter?” “If I put the letter down, will the sun light up again?” The mother finally turned her head, with a helpless expression on her face, “Now I can only choose to believe in the city hall and the cathedral—there will be a powerful presence to protect this city.” , I can ask her what happened… Father is not at home
…
“
She didn’t notice that the mother who was sitting on the sofa had a subtle expression on her face after hearing her chanting.
The next second, the old woman shook her head.
“If the sun is really extinguished, then this must be a scene that the whole world can see. Fanna and your father must have seen it too—they must have thought of a way within their respective responsibilities, and you, it’s time to calm down and think about your responsibilities.” Heidi finally calmed down a little. She frowned and turned her eyes to the table not far away
.
A delicate and sturdy suitcase is sitting quietly on the corner of the table.
It was filled with all kinds of tools and potions she used in practicing medicine—because the nights in the city-state have been extraordinarily quiet recently, the most effective things in that suitcase have not been used for a long time.
“I have dispatched city guards, so you don’t have to worry about the order in Frost City for a short time.” Tirian stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner of the dome office, and said to the mirror with a serious face. “The tension brought by the mirror image crisis that happened not long ago has not faded. The good news is that under the influence of this tension, the implementation of various emergency plans will be faster.” The dark green flame burned quietly on the mirror surface like a veil. After that, he nodded
.
Tirian raised his hand and rubbed the sore brows vigorously. Then he rang the bell on his desk. The door of the office was pushed open, and Aiden walked in. Tirian raised his head and ordered to his most loyal subordinate:
“Be wary of those ships returning from the darkness, and don’t let them approach the city-state rashly before the sun re-lights—designate a ‘buffer zone’ in the offshore area, and let the returning ships stop there temporarily, waiting for inspection and release.”…The mirror in front of him gradually returned to calm, and the dark green flame temporarily retreated to the corner of the edge of the mirror. Duncan exhaled lightly, and turned his head to look out the
window
.
The bright “sunshine” still shines on the deck of the Lost Home and the large area of sea around it, but outside the area where the sun shines, the entire boundless sea is still shrouded in eerie darkness.
This is a very disturbing moment, even the loudest goat’s head on weekdays has fallen into silence on the chart table at this moment.
Only Alice was happily drying the quilt on the deck at this time…
Duncan rubbed his forehead, trying not to pay attention to the figure who was drying the quilt on the deck, and then concentrated his energy, calling out to the flame that was floating in the sky in his heart. ”Lawrence, how is your situation?” (End of this chapter)
