Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 518

[Chapter 516 After the Sun Reignites]

The sun is relit.

After being extinguished for a full twelve hours, the dark sphere hanging high and still in the sky once again became the “sun” that brought warmth and light to this world, and resumed its movement.

In Prand, in Frost, and in Qingfeng Harbor, everyone who has witnessed the extinction of the sun has seen the scene of vision 001 recovering again.

However, the panic caused by the extinguishing of the sun did not fade away so easily—the residents of the city-state were still anxious. Scholars and priests looked at the re-lit sun, just as confused and nervous as when they saw it extinguished before.

The flying colored paper rolled across the deck like a gust of wind, passed through the window, and fell into the captain’s cabin. Lucrezia’s figure condensed out of the paper. She stepped to her own crystal ball and waited anxiously for the reply from the other side after activation.

As soon as Tirian’s figure appeared, she quickly said, “I see that the sun has been relit from my side. How is the situation on your side?” “Of course it is from my side. At least it seems that we are still seeing the same sun.” Tirian’s eyes were tired, but he seemed to be in good spirits. In other words, as long as it goes out once, the most basic and stable ‘sense of security’ in everyone’s mind will be hit hard,” Lucrecia sighed, and casually expressed her feelings, “No one is not worried about this

, even me.

“

The sun has recovered, and the situation is actually similar to what he expected at the beginning—although the anomaly 001 is indeed having problems, this huge and ancient “device” will not completely collapse in a short period of time, and it may persist for a long time in constant faults and repairs. Today’s extinction is only temporary—but correspondingly, its rekindling is also temporary.   Duncan immediately came back to his senses, his eyes swept over the mirror in front of him.

Compared with the brief extinction of the sun, Duncan is actually more concerned about other things at this moment: those strange phenomena that happened after the sun extinguished.

The first strange phenomenon is the interruption of communication in other city-states except Prand, Qingfeng Harbor and Frost.

If it is true that all communications on the Boundless Sea have been cut off, it will not be troublesome, but there are still three city-states that have no problems. If Prand and Frost have some special characteristics because they have become “visions”, then what is going on with Qingfeng Harbor?

The second strange phenomenon is even more puzzling than the “communication interruption”-what is the “boundary” observed by the White Oak?

The burning cloth balls were thrown into the sea from the ship. Theoretically, they would continue to drift in the opposite direction to the ship’s course due to the driving of the ship. However, when the sun went out, the cloth balls all “stagnated” near a certain “boundary” after drifting a few hundred meters… According to Lawrence’s report just now, this strange phenomenon disappeared after the sun was turned on again—the mummy “sailor” did several tests to confirm this

.

Duncan frowned.

The phenomenon observed by the White Oak is actually very small in scale. Compared with the “disconnection” of all the city-states in the entire boundless sea, the “boundary” is only limited to one ship, but what is hidden behind the phenomenon… seems to be far beyond imagination.

Duncan vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched a very crucial “secret” in this boundless sea. The “true side” of the whole world seemed to be hidden in the twelve hours after the sun went out.

At this moment, a call from afar suddenly interrupted his thinking.   In the next second, the illusory and transparent fire of the spirit enveloped the mirror again, and the depths of the mirror quickly became pitch black, and Tirian’s figure emerged from it.   ”Father, over there…”   ”Everything is fine here, the sun has returned, right?” Duncan asked without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, “How is the situation of Frost?”

expression

.

He immediately figured out why.   It seemed that someone had walked into the dome office and was reporting something to him.   Duncan didn’t speak, and retracted his “gaze” immediately, and at the same time concealed the connection between the mirrors – this was to avoid scaring the “ordinary people” over there.

After a few minutes, the flames on the edge of the mirror rekindled, and Duncan heard Tirian’s call, and looked at the mirror again.

Tirian’s figure appeared in the mirror again, and this time there was an expression of consternation clearly on his face.

Duncan noticed the change in the other party’s expression, and frowned slightly: “What happened?”

We… just established contact with Cold Harbor and asked about the situation of their city-state during the extinction of the sun,” Tirian said hesitantly, as if trying to figure out how to express every word, “They were surprised—they didn’t know about the extinction of the sun at all!” Duncan’s expression froze for a moment

.

After more than ten seconds, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and broke the silence with a very serious voice: “Clarify, is it because Cold Harbor has never observed the phenomenon of the sun going out, or that they have not experienced the previous twelve hours at all?” Tirian was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood the meaning of Duncan’s words

.

“You mean…”

“Go and confirm again, see if there is any record of interruption of communication with Frost in Cold Harbor. If in their eyes the whole world is as usual, and communication with Frost has never been interrupted… then this matter is more complicated than we imagined.” Not far away, there was a sudden exclamation from the goat’s head: “Captain! The situation is not right! Come and look at the sea chart!”

Sea

chart

?

Duncan was puzzled, and quickly turned around and came to the navigation table, his eyes swept over the weird sea chart surrounded by fog.

In the next second, he saw the projection of the Lost Home on the chart, and… the city-state mark slowly emerging beside the projection.

“We…are near Qingfeng Harbor?”
