Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 549

[Chapter 547 Extreme Conjecture]

Lucrecia looked at the clockwork doll lying on the experimental table without saying a word. Alice stood opposite the experimental table with a nervous and uneasy look on her face, and Duncan stood on the opposite side of the experimental table. Next to Alice, she looked expressionless.

After the awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time, Lucretia finally broke the silence first: “…So, Luni took off her own head?” “…The process is very

complicated,” Duncan said with a straight face. Lucretia said, “I’m surprised too.”

Lucretia couldn’t help but glance at Duncan.

She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she actually felt that her father, who always had a straight face and always had a serious and gloomy temperament, seemed to have a trace of… embarrassment in his expression just now.

“I’m sorry…” Alice finally spoke. She lowered her head and carefully grabbed the corner of Duncan’s clothes. Apparently she realized that she had gotten into trouble again. “I saw that Luni was also a doll, and I thought all dolls were the same. Yes, just…I’m also surprised, her head turns out to be unpluggable?” “

…It can be seen that Luni also thinks she is just like you,” Lucretia looked at this with a subtle expression. The “Abnormal 099” that once made countless people fearful and vigilant glanced at it and said, “But I didn’t design this ‘function’ for her.”

At this moment, Luni, who was lying on the experimental table and moving separately, suddenly started to move. Blinking her eyes, her voice sounded a little off-key: “Mistress, can you help me connect the head first? I’m sorry to cause you trouble…”

Lucrecia looked down at the clockwork doll with an expressionless expression. After taking a look, he sighed, took the tools from the side, and began to remove the cover and decorative materials near the neck of Luni’s body. While removing it, he couldn’t help but ask: “Why did you follow Alice’s actions without thinking?” “Alice?

” …It’s a new friend.” Luni’s head made a sound beside her, and her mouth opened and closed with a slight noise. “A new friend brought by the old master.” Lucretia paused in her hand movements

. Then he didn’t say anything and continued busy.

Alice looked at Lu Ni’s head a little uneasily: “Then will we still be friends from now on?”

“Yes,” Lu Ni blinked, “But after the mistress fixes me…”

Alice suddenly said again He became happy, and then he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary: “Ah, you don’t stutter after taking off your head!” “Yes,

because my head can operate independently, the mistress installed it in my head. I have a complete vocal structure, and my thinking is not affected by the lack of physical structure,” Lu Ni explained in a serious manner, “The difference between you and me is that my neck cannot recover on its own after it is broken.” Alice thought for a while,

although He didn’t understand, but still nodded: “Oh – that’s amazing.”

Duncan watched this scene from the side, feeling that this scene was already extremely weird.

Even more evil than a cursed doll that can lose its head, he actually had to find another doll as a friend for this doll – he hadn’t even introduced Alice and the other weird “servants” on this ship. We know each other.

If this idiot were to take a stroll on the Brilliant Star, how lively would the ship be?

Lucrecia, who was busy dismantling and repairing Luni’s joints with her head down, suddenly felt a thrill in her heart. She looked up and looked around blankly, but could not find the source of this “a thrill”.

But soon, her attention was focused on other things.

“What do you think about the ‘eyeball’ recorded by Master Taran El?” The “Sea Witch” turned her head and looked at Duncan aside, “This matter must not be disclosed to ordinary people, but the Four Gods Over there at the church…”

“I’m going to tell them, but I haven’t figured out what channel to use, and whether it’s necessary to have more direct contact with their senior management.” Duncan quickly stopped the messy thoughts in his mind and looked quite serious. He said, “The key now is not actually the fact that the body of Vision 001 is an eyeball enclosed in an artificial spherical shell. After all, Vision 001 has been unknown to mortals since the beginning of history. No matter how weird and terrifying its true appearance may be, what really matters is the appearance of that eyeball.” “The

appearance of that eyeball…” Lucretia slowed down her movements and frowned slightly, “What do you mean? , is it very similar to… a certain structure of the creeping sun wheel?” “

The body of the creeping sun wheel is an ancient god surrounded and roasted by the corona. Between the layers of tentacles, there is a huge The structure of the eyeball is its main feature,” Duncan nodded and said casually, “I was very impressed by that eyeball – it looked at me for a long time.” Listening to her father’s story,

Lucretia But suddenly he looked around uneasily, and then looked at Duncan hesitantly: “Talk directly about the ancient gods at sea…” “It’s not a big problem.

Even if the guy’s ‘eyes’ are really attracted, they will only fall on him. On me,” Duncan waved his hand, “and I’ve been wanting to find it.”

Lucretia opened her mouth, but suddenly she didn’t know how to answer.

She has seen a lot of the world in this century of wandering on the boundless sea, and has dealt with even more madmen. She has also participated in taboo and dangerous topics and events, but those taboo and dangerous topics are not so violent. discussed in an atmosphere.

She felt that it might take a long time for her to learn how to get along with her father again.

Duncan didn’t pay attention to Lucretia’s subtle expression for a moment. After a moment of reflection, he thought of another thing: “Do you remember the ‘intruder’ that appeared in Taran El’s dream? The projection of the Son of the Sun.”

“I remember that you said it looked like a smaller ‘Creeping Sun Disk’,” Lucretia nodded, “And you also mentioned that the ‘Child of the Sun’ I had a brief communication with you. It and its minions are looking for something in that dream.”

Duncan nodded slightly, and then spoke unhurriedly: “The core of Vision 001 is an object related to the ‘Creep Sun Disk’. ‘The core part is very similar to the ‘eyeball’. Twelve hours after Vision 001 went out, the Children of the Sun invaded the ‘Dream of the Nameless One’ through Taran El’s dream, and brought their minions in that dream. Looking for something, there is obviously a connection between the two things;

“On the other hand, for thousands of years, believers in the Black Sun have been claiming that what they worship is the ‘real sun god’, and put the sun in the sky Called the ‘False Sun’, the world has always believed that this was just their crazy delusion. It was the spiritual pollution of the Black Sun that caused those believers to deviate from their understanding of the world. However, Taran Ayre saw it when the sun went out. At that time, it was discovered that there was really an eyeball sealed inside Vision 001 that was very similar to the core structure of the ‘Creeping Sun Disk’;

“Finally, it was the Annihilation Cult that invaded the Dream of the Nameless One – according to the information I collected, the purpose of the Annihilation Cult Unlike the Sun Cultists, they were looking for the ‘Holy Lord’s original blueprint before the creation of the world’ in that dream. However, according to the records in the “Book of Blasphemy”, the ‘Sacred Lord of the Underworld’ guided Cree during the creation of the world. The Te clan may even have personally helped them create Vision 001, so strictly speaking… Today’s Vision 001, which is what the Sun Cultists call the ‘Pseudo Sun’, can also be regarded as the ‘masterpiece’ of Holy Lord Yousu. is part of the original blueprint.

“This last point may also explain the ‘cooperation state’ I observed between the Annihilation Sect and the Sun Sect – they are indeed cooperating, but the relationship is obviously not harmonious.” Duncan slowly talked about what he had been doing during this period

. After thinking about something, he raised his eyelids and looked into Lucrecia’s eyes.

“What did you think of in this information?”

Lucretia had stopped what she was doing unknowingly. Her expression changed several times, her expression solemn and a little uneasy. After a long time, she finally broke in a low voice. Silence: “…Even if a cultist who worships the Black Sun is standing here, I’m afraid he would say this is a bit extreme…” “…

I heard similar words not long ago,” Duncan shook his head and said, ” Now I just hope that the deepest truth of our world will not be crazier than this – otherwise, in the face of real history, I am afraid even the most extreme cultists will appear conservative.” Lucretia did not speak, but just

said He slowly lowered his gaze in thought.

Luni’s head was still lying on the experimental table, meeting the eyes of the contemplative hostess.

After a while, Luni finally couldn’t help but said: “Mistress… are you still pretending? Why don’t you go next door to rest for a while? You can ask the rabbi to come over and help…” Lucretia breathed out

, Temporarily throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, he picked up the tools in his hands and continued to work: “Rabbi will only stuff your head into its own belly to make up for its endless thirst for ‘cotton’ – don’t move, I want it.” Put your head back.”

“Oh.”

…

At the same time, in the Archon’s office in Breeze Port, Archon Sarah Meier unfolded a document that had just been delivered to her desk and looked at it. At the above content, the elf who had lived for a long time frowned little by little.

The document comes from the Four Gods Church – it is not issued by a single church, but carries the seals of the four popes, is witnessed by the four gods, and is sent to every city-state on the boundless sea.

Establish an early warning system jointly constructed by the city-state, the church, and the Explorers Association to monitor changes that may occur at any time in the city-state, on the sea surface, and below the sea surface, and be alert to the recurrence of the frost crisis and the awakening of the ancient gods; the Four Gods Church will mobilize a part of the patrol fleet from the border

to within the civilized world to respond to world-wide emergencies at any time.

Although the above two contents are worrying, they are still normal. At least for the rulers of the city-state, they are still understandable “work content”.

What really made Consul Sarah Mel frown was the very eye-catching and important item at the end of the document that seemed to be mentioned inadvertently – “

Each city-state must pay attention to any warning signal from the Lost Homeship or the Lost Home Fleet. If the Lost Homeship is found, The Township ship is operating in the waters surrounding the city-state…be sure not to take any hostile actions, and should…cooperate as the situation requires.”
