Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 562

[Chapter 560 Homeless People]

Scholars in this world have always had many conjectures about the origin of the current Deep Sea Age and the world before the Great Annihilation. They have also tried to explain the historical fragmentation, chronology, and inheritance of cultural relics in the city-states of the Infinite Sea. Contradictory phenomena are just like what any ethnic group that has formed a civilization system will do when facing history – if

there is history, there will be people who study history, and when people study history, there will be people who try to explain those contradictions. Guessing will never be the same. It is something that a layman can think of, but most professional scholars have already thought about it, and may even have constructed a complete theoretical model.

Scholars actually have many theoretical models that can explain the reasons for the formation of today’s deep sea age-including the one speculated by Duncan, and each of them makes sense.

The only problem is that there is no “evidence” to support each theoretical model. The Great Annihilation is like a majestic high wall, blocking everything before that time point. No information or relics can be passed down from before that point.

Now, Duncan believes that he has found a key “evidence” and extracted key information that is enough to support one of the conjectures: the

fragments left behind after the destruction of a distant and unfamiliar world – and an accurate description. The “memory” of apocalyptic scenes.

Of course, in the face of a truly rigorous scholar, this isolated evidence may not be enough to completely and irrefutably explain the current situation of the Deep Sea Age.

“World aggregation theory…” Ted Leal whispered to himself, “I know that my mentor has always been a supporter of this theory – he believes that the current deep sea era is composed of a large number of worlds that were originally isolated from each other. It was formed by overlapping and reorganization. What caused this overlapping and reorganization may be a major disaster that befell several worlds at the same time. The so-called ‘Great Annihilation’ was not one disaster, but a series of disasters that occurred at the same time. Therefore, there will be so many contradictions in the historical records of various races in the Infinite Sea, and some ancient legends will be seriously torn apart…

“This theory also explains why we can’t find the ‘original appearance’ of the world before the Great Annihilation at all, nor can we find ‘ancient cultural relics’ that can support any kind of historical record – because those original appearances have long been reorganized, from the timeline of From a perspective, ‘this world’ today did not exist at all before the Great Annihilation.”

He stopped, exhaled softly, and then continued to speak.

“The entire Infinite Sea was born at the moment of the Great Annihilation. Before that moment, there was no ‘old world’ that could be fully and accurately described and understood. There were only countless fragments of the old world as ‘raw materials’ accumulated in the time of the Great Annihilation. At the node – the world aggregation theory, among all the origin theories, its ‘explanatory power’ is the best, explaining almost all the problems we face. “But at the same time,

it is also considered the most whimsical and The most difficult thing to prove is that it fundamentally denies the point that ‘history can be traced’ and attributes everything to ‘it has disappeared anyway’. Therefore, although this theory is good, it has very few supporters. My mentor… …is one of its few supporters. “

After Ted Leal finished speaking with exclamation, Duncan finally broke the silence: “Now, we have evidence. “

Ted Lear’s eyes fell on the long sword. After thinking solemnly for a long time, he still shook his head: “Evidence alone is not proof – this evidence is indeed very likely to support the ‘world aggregation theory’ ‘, but a single piece of evidence is flawed, unless we can find a second conclusive ‘world fragment’, and it comes from a different world than the ‘physical evidence’ in your hand…” When saying this, the secret

keeper His tone was very difficult and tangled. Obviously from an emotional point of view, he hoped more than anyone else that an unresolved conjecture could be confirmed, hoping that he had finally found the “answer”, but from a scholar’s point of view, he had to be rigorous. Even when he saw the first “evidence”, he had to show unkind “harshness”.

However, after he finished speaking, Duncan just replied with one word: “Yes. “

Ted Leal didn’t react for a moment, and even Lucretia next to him didn’t react. A moment later, they all said in unison: “Do you have other evidence?!”

Duncan was silent for two or three seconds and turned his head. Looking deeply into Lucretia’s eyes: “The moon.”

“That ‘stone ball’…” Lucretia reacted instantly, “You mean, it is…”

“It is another one ‘Fragment’,” Duncan nodded slightly, “It comes from another world – another world completely different from the hometown of this long sword. Although I don’t know what happened to it to make it what it is today. It looked like this, but I’m pretty sure it was…

He stopped suddenly, as if there was a force preventing him from saying that conclusion. This blocking force surged in his mind like a storm. Howling like a strong emotion, it was fighting against his rational part.

He instinctively rejected this conclusion.

Lucretia noticed something, and she looked at her father with confusion and worry.

Duncan finally spoke, After finishing the second half of the sentence: “…it is the remaining part of ‘that world’. “

In the end, reason defeated emotion.

When he came to this conclusion, he even had the illusion of “relief”.

In fact, he saw “The Moon” for the first time at that time and returned to the Lost Home to talk to Alice. After that, he already had speculations in this regard –

since the “moon” appeared in this world, it is very likely that this world is his “hometown”, a “hometown” after serious changes and distortions. However,

his There are no “elves” and “Senjin” in their hometown, and there are no humans in the legends of the elves themselves. The word “earth” has never appeared in the historical records of the city-states in the Infinite Sea. This is the “history tear” that has troubled many scholars. The problem is particularly obvious in Duncan’s eyes.

So…how was this boundless sea formed?

The most likely explanation is that there may be a hometown here, but only part of it.

To confirm this speculation, we only need to find a second “moon”-like fragment of another world.

The only thing he didn’t expect was that the second evidence would come so quickly and so directly.

Ted Leal and Lucretia looked at each other, and after a brief hesitation, they realized that Duncan had no reason to deceive them on this matter.

It turns out that there are already two pieces of evidence – no wonder the greatest explorer ever declared so confidently and without hesitation that the world today is made up of piles of ruins.

Lucretia did not ask Duncan where he got his knowledge of the “moon”.

Because she knows that the answers to these questions will eventually point to the subspace – no matter what form it is, her father has completed his own reshaping and transformation in that “deepest and darkest place”, and everything he has now The knowledge and abilities that Xiang himself cannot understand are all part of those imprints.

She shouldn’t reveal them repeatedly.

Ted Leal had been thinking silently, but suddenly, he raised his head suddenly, as if he felt something.

The “secret keeper” quickly opened the heavy book in his hand, summoned the “stethoscope” from the pages, and rushed to the “living metal” on the central platform with a single step.

He placed the stethoscope on the surface of the “living metal” and his expression suddenly became very solemn.

An extremely weak and slow heartbeat came from the room, and each heartbeat was slower and weaker than the previous one.

“He’s dying.”

Ted Leal raised his head and said with complicated eyes.

For the first time in his life, the “keeper of the truth” whose duty is to protect the city-state had particularly complicated emotions when faced with a “foreign object” that invaded the real world.

Because he suddenly realized that this indescribable “terrible thing” that caused panic to many people in the market… was actually very likely to be the same existence as humans, elves, and Sen’jin – it was A “homeless man” who arrived in the Deep Sea Age from the Great Annihilation.

Unfortunately, his world was destroyed even more completely, and those tiny fragments… were far from enough to sustain him and his race.

The deep sea age did not leave a place for homeless people like him. Under the influence of some as yet unexplainable mechanism, he became like this, and he was about to die.

Nina and Shirley subconsciously grabbed each other’s hands, not knowing what to do for a moment. Lucretia could only look at this scene with complicated eyes, because she knew that this could no longer be reversed by human power. Something happened.

In the heartbeat that gradually became lower and slower, Duncan finally walked forward slowly. He looked at the “living metal” that now had no human appearance at all, but another picture emerged in his mind – stubbornness

. The warriors, the silent magicians, the ever-energetic hunters and rangers, the confident knights, the pessimistic psychics, and the confident and proud red-haired Groska woman… They are in a sunny

place We set out in the afternoon, carrying the best swords and armors, the best scrolls and talismans made by the kingdom, and the king’s blessing and trust, and walked into the distant wilderness together – just like what was described in the ancient poems Like that, a team of brave men go to save their world.

Duncan reached out his hand and gently pressed it on the cold and hard “steel”.

“We are all homeless… Now, you are home.”

The low and slow “Plop” sound finally stopped gradually. After an extraordinarily weak and slow pulse, there was no more heartbeat in the room.

The last beat of a heartbeat, like a sigh.

Ted Leal turned around, as if announcing to this deep sea era –

“He is dead.”
