Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 552

[Chapter 550 “Witnesses of the Four Gods”]

encountered the church’s patrol fleet at the border?

Lucretia was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then quickly recalled with a frown: “It should have been last month, I encountered the Firebringer’s ship in the border waters… After that I have never seen the church’s patrol formation. But this may also be related to the fact that I have not been close to the border frequently recently.” “That’s

not the case, Ms. Lucretia,” Sarah Meyer shook her head, “It’s not because of you. I haven’t gone to the border recently, but it’s because the Four Gods Church has indeed allocated a large number of manpower originally responsible for patrolling the border to do other things – reduced by about half.” “Reduced

border patrols?” Lucretia was surprised. “What are they doing?”

“I don’t know. The Pilgrimage Ark has its own secrets, just like every city-state. They will not report to me the whereabouts of those ships and people,” Sarah Meyer said, “But as for me The intelligence we have, the forces that were drawn away were not replenished to the ‘internal route’, but still stayed at certain points on the border. Do you understand what I mean? They just no longer perform patrol duties, but remain in eternity. Some special locations near the curtain gathered together, as if they were waiting for further orders, or… preparing to deal with some bigger trouble.”

The city-state governor paused when he said this, and then looked at Lucretia Ya’s eyes, her tone was extremely solemn: “This kind of thing has never happened before.” “

…When an elf says something ‘has never happened before’, it often means that something is very serious,” Lu Cressia couldn’t help but say this old saying that is well-known among explorers, “I think I understand what you mean.” “Yes,

ma’am – there is something wrong with our world, and the Homeless Ship has been sent to The whole world has issued a warning. An ‘ordinary person’ like me can also detect the ‘atmosphere’ where crises are gradually approaching and things are gradually starting to go wrong. Then it is impossible for the Four Gods Church, which has been observing and protecting the entire world for thousands of years, not to notice it. Well, of course they have already started taking action.”

Sarah Meyer said, raising her hand and pointing to the letter with the symbol of the Four Gods Church.

“This letter links their recent unusual ‘mobilization’ with the warning from the Lost Home. I think… the leaders of the Pilgrimage Ark should have discovered or confirmed what your father mentioned in the warning. The ‘root cause’ of certain things, and they found that the problem was huge, bigger than anyone imagined.

“In the face of this ‘big problem’, it is no longer important to be vigilant about the Homeless Ship, even if the ship is now Still connected to the subspace, and there is even the possibility of falling into the subspace again, they don’t care – as long as your father is still on the side of ‘mortals’. “

After the consul finished speaking, Lucretia did not speak for a long time. She looked down at the letter again, seemingly still lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Sarah Mel broke the silence: “Then Can I ask now? Lady Lucretia, what is your father, the legendary Captain Duncan… doing now? What do you want to do next? “

He is taking care of the child, and next he is going to take the two girls to the city to find something that normal humans can eat…

Lucretia suddenly had some unreliable associations in her mind, but soon He put these thoughts aside and made his expression serious again: “He was very interested in the ‘falling object’ I found. Although I don’t know why, he seemed to… know the ‘stone ball’ in the center of the falling object. ‘What’s the origin? He came mainly for it this time. “

“Does he know the origin of that ‘stone ball’? “Sarah Mel suddenly looked surprised.

“Yes, he called the sphere ‘the moon’, and according to him, the original… or ‘normal’ volume of the sphere should be very, very huge. That’s right,” Lucretia nodded, “and he also curiously asked about the physical properties of the ‘moon’ and the composition of the surface samples. “

Moon…” Sarah Mel frowned a little, but after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head, “I have never heard of this name.” “

“Neither do I. Father said that no one in the world should know this name,” Lucretia said. “When he said this, he seemed to be in a… not very good mood.”

Sarah Mel didn’t speak for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he broke the silence: “The Outpost Research Team recently collected some samples from the surface of the ‘stone ball’ and is currently analyzing them. Since your father is very interested in this matter, I I will ask them to share information with you at any time, and I will explain the situation to the person in charge of each facility in advance. If your father wants to ‘see’ some research results with his own eyes, that is OK.” Lucretia raised her eyebrows:

” Aren’t you worried about causing panic?”

“You brought him strutting into the city,” Sarah Mel spread her hands helplessly. “Do you know how many people in this city know his face?”

” But as long as there is no publicity, it is estimated that many people would rather believe that it is just a similar-looking face – a person who looks exactly like Captain Duncan, which is more reasonable than the space shadow visiting the city.”

“Looking exactly the same is scary enough, madam,” Sarah Meyer smiled wryly. “Do you know that since your father…since then, the captains of the Infinite Sea have rarely even grown beards?”

” Then it’s none of my business, and it’s not my father who shaved them.”

Sarah Mel choked for a moment, stared for a long time before waving her hands: “Okay, let’s not talk about this – Ms. , I want to know the most real situation, your father… what is his current state?”

It can be seen that the consul tried his best to make his question less rude, but he also knew that in front of this No matter how you put it, asking such a question in front of the “Sea Witch” was a bit offensive – he had no choice but to ask it like this.

Fortunately, Lucretia didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

“As I learned before, he did lose a lot of memory. The subspace once destroyed his sanity and personality. The current Duncan Abnomar… is actually strictly speaking a completely ‘reorganized’ person. “I’m dead,” the “witch” had a complicated expression, but she still didn’t hide what she knew. “I can still find some shadows of the past in him, as well as a familiar aura and majesty, and he also left a mark on me. There is a vague impression, but that’s all.”

She paused, thinking about the words briefly, and then continued: “If you ask me how I feel, I feel that there is something else hidden in his body – don’t worry about it yet. Nervous, Sarah Meyer, I don’t mean the warp, but something… not dangerous, but something I’ve never seen before. It seemed like other personalities, and it seemed like many personalities and The information is superimposed together…”

“I don’t understand the meaning of this sentence,” Sarah Meyer frowned, “Can you say it more plainly and understandably?”

Lucretia thought for a while, then showed great patience and explained: “This time, when I just saw him, I briefly heard countless noises, and saw the undulating light and shadow. That should be Mild symptoms of mental pollution, but this pollution subsided very quickly and did not leave any impact on me. And in this pollution, I caught a glimpse of countless dots of light escaping from behind him, which looked like …It looks very much like the ‘starry sky’ floating between the deep sea and the spiritual world.

“At the beginning, before I saw those ‘starlights’, my feeling towards my father was a huge ‘nihility’. I saw Standing there with his body, I couldn’t find the feeling of the other person’s actual presence. But with the appearance of those noises and lights, my perception of him stabilized, and I was finally able to be with him…or strictly speaking, with him. The body communicates normally. Sarah

Meyer’s expression became extremely serious: “How long did this process last?” “

“In an instant,” Lucretia said seriously, “and it happened at the edge of reason and perception – I suspect that most people will not be able to detect this process, and those who can detect it due to their high spiritual vision, You will also be completely distracted by those starlights, so that you won’t realize the instant feeling of ‘nothingness’ in that body. “

Sarah Meir was silent for half a minute, and then spoke thoughtfully: “It sounds like your attention is always on your ‘father’, so you can detect this short ‘process’… Luke Ms. Lecia, these descriptions make me a little uneasy, and it feels like…” “

I know what you want to say – you may think that the brief ‘starlight’ is now Duncan Abnomar’s’ “Real”, and the “captain returning from subspace” is just a part of this starlight mimicry, just like the tentacles of a sea monster sticking out of the sea to lure sailors. Sarah

Mel frowned: “Isn’t it like this?” “

Lucrecia just shook her head slightly.

“I have my own judgment, Mr. Archon. I know that it is him, although now he has shown some disturbing ‘characters’, and even the way of existence is different. It became incomprehensible and indescribable, but the starlight was him, at least partly him. “

Sarah Mel listened quietly, and then spoke solemnly for a long time: “This sounds emotional, madam, but I know you are not an emotional person – so I can only hope that your judgment is correct, At least I hope it comes from your always accurate ‘intuition’ rather than out of longing.”

“You can trust my judgment,” Lucretia said solemnly, and pointed at the paper The letter on the table, “Or, at least believe in the ‘Four God Witnesses’.”
