Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 563

[Chapter 561 Two questions]

Now, the once living “matter” has completely turned into a solidified metal.

To harmlessly dispose of “abnormal objects” that have been registered for containment requires a very complicated process, but this is just an ordinary job for Ted Leal, the keeper of the truth. He quickly They called the person in charge of the underground archives and made appropriate arrangements.

Although he was filled with emotion and was deeply touched by the past of that “living metal”, as the protector of the city-state, he must handle this matter strictly in accordance with safety rules – even if it was really a person who had tried The brave man who went to save the world has become an “extraordinary invader” that is very likely to spread corruption and pollution in this deep sea era. What will greet this mass of matter will be the high temperature of the steam core reactor and a Set up strict purification, segmentation, crushing and sealing procedures.

But think about it from another angle. In fact, this may not be a kind of burial. After all, ordinary people in this world also come here. The “corpse” should always be “handled” properly, and the dead must always make way for the living.

As for the long sword, as the only remaining material from “that world” in the end, it miraculously restored to the state when it was first born. It is obviously a highly valuable research sample.

Through it, scholars can build more understanding of that world – although everything has passed, this understanding and memory are meaningful after all.

“It’s useless for me to keep it,” Duncan readily agreed to Ted Leal’s request. He handed the sword to him with emotion in his tone, “Let the smart people uncover more secrets behind it. Well, if you find anything, I hope you can share it with me.”

“Of course.” Ted Leal took the sword from Duncan’s hand with great solemnity. Then he hesitated for a moment and continued, “About what happened today. I will convene scholars from the School of Truth to discuss the matter and the intelligence I have obtained. If we encounter new problems, we may still need your… help.”

“No problem,” Duncan naturally had no objection. He nodded and pointed at Lucretia beside him, “You can contact me through Lucy – if I think of something or discover something new, She will also tell you.”

There are still many things that need to be explained and communicated. When the “horizon limit” of the Great Annihilation suddenly reveals a crack in front of mortals, what will follow is bound to be a debate on the academic world. A huge impact, the Four Gods Church will also pay attention to and discuss this matter, and whether they are willing to accept it or not, the Lost Home and the owner of the Lost Home are already an unavoidable part of this matter.

As for Duncan, he didn’t care about it, and from his perspective, there were actually some very critical and special problems in the information he just obtained that Lucretia and Ted Leal didn’t notice. Even temporarily incomprehensible.

For example, the position of the “deep red” and its behavior that goes against common sense.

If the information he saw in the memory fragments was true, and if the “Templar”‘s explanation of the “Warrior” was correct, then the location of the “red light” that led to the destruction of the world should be in the universe. In space – it may be a huge astronomical phenomenon across the Milky Way, a band of light appearing in the background of the starry sky.

And there is a problem: the planet rotates. At least judging from the scenes seen in the memory fragments, the hometown of the “warrior” also has normal sunrises and sunsets, and the stars rotate.

Therefore, the “red light belt” located in the universe should theoretically move, rise and fall in the sky along with other stars.

But why is that “deep red” always located at a specific location in the sky?

The “Warrior” and his traveling companions have been looking for the place where the crimson light fell, because in their eyes, the red light was always fixed at a specific position in the sky, which also led to them not realizing that the light did not actually fall. On the ground, but against a backdrop of stars.

The “Templar Knight” also mentioned this question at the end – in a sense, this is also the last and largest “astronomical discovery” during the existence of their civilization.

Duncan’s guess is that the “light” is no longer just an entity visible to the naked eye. The “dark red” is just the appearance it shows, and its essence… may have involved the basic order of the universe, or even “rules”. ” level of “destruction” and “distortion”.

That may be a tear at the dimensional level, or a deeper and more complex phenomenon.

However, Ted Leal and Lucretia are not aware of this problem yet, and they may not be able to understand it in the short term – they don’t even understand the concept of a planet.

This can only be done slowly. Even if Duncan is willing to explain now, it will still take a long, long time to explain.

The second question is what exactly should be the concept of “world” in the “world aggregation theory”?

Is each “world” a planet in the same universe, or is it a different “universe” from a broader perspective?

Duncan raised his head and glanced at Ted Leal, who was still thinking, and the long sword in his hand.

The two evidences of the “Moon” and the “Long Sword” may be able to support most of the descriptions in the world aggregation theory, but they are not enough to determine the “levels” of the “world fragments” that make up the “Infinite Sea”. In a broad sense, every planet can be called a world, and every universe…can also be called a world.

To Duncan, the distinction is important.

But this is also a problem that the “Keeper of the Truth” and the “Sea Witch” cannot currently understand and detect – Duncan can’t even think of how to explain these concepts to them in a short time.

In addition, the secret of the “crimson light” itself is certainly more worthy of attention – this is not the first time that Duncan has “seen” that ominous light.

The red light appeared in the vision of the crash of New Hope and in the oil painting in Alice’s mansion.

What is that thing?

Lucretia noticed Duncan’s long silence and the constant changes in his expression as he thought.

She was a little worried: “Father, is there anything else wrong?” “

…I have many questions and need to go back and sort them out.” Duncan temporarily woke up from his meditation. He shook his head gently, “Go back first and wait. I have thought about it and will discuss it with you.”

Lucretia still looked a little worried, but she realized from Duncan’s attitude that this might be another problem that was “difficult to explain to others.”

This was the first tacit understanding she had re-established with her father in these short few days of getting along.

So she just nodded and didn’t ask any further questions.

“We should go,” Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Nina and Shirley, who still looked a little uneasy, and then his eyes fell on Ted Leal. “Send us away.” Secret

Keeper Nodding, he summoned the “gate” from the book again, then walked through the gate with Duncan and others, and returned to the academy near the Crown Block.

“I will make some arrangements when I go back.” Before saying goodbye, Ted Leal glanced at Nina and Shirley who were standing next to Duncan. “No one will disturb you and your followers while you are in the city. But correspondingly…”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any trouble,” Duncan said proactively without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, with a friendly smile on his face, “We are all law-abiding people who value the security of the city. People.”

The “Keeper of the Truth” in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment.

Even Lucretia next to her was stunned for a moment.

Apparently neither of them believed it.

But soon, Ted Leal controlled the change of expression on his face. He smiled stiffly but politely: “That… is best.”

Then he paused and added very sincerely. : “Let’s get together again when we have time. Although you may not remember me, I still look forward to chatting with you about those…incredible ‘knowledge’.” Duncan laughed: “Many people don’t dare to talk to you

. I’m talking about ‘knowledge’, there are not many people as brave as you, okay, then I’ll look forward to it.”

Lucretia looked at her father, and then at the “Keeper of the Truth” opposite.

Miss Witch suddenly felt a little emotional in her heart.

It seems that teaching and educating people is indeed a very difficult thing. The secret keeper would rather talk about subspace with his father than face the graduating class… After a brief farewell, Duncan took

Nina and Shirley with him. , and left the academy facility together with Lucretia.

They returned to the “Witch Mansion” at 99 Crown Street.

“You can make your own arrangements. I’ll go upstairs to rest first – there’s nothing special to do, so don’t disturb me.”

Duncan gave such a simple order, then rubbed Nina and Shirley’s hair, and stepped up to the second floor. stairs.

After a while, Shirley, who was in a daze, turned her head and whispered to Nina: “The captain is not in a good mood…” “

I don’t think I can describe it as good or bad…” Nina hesitated for a moment. , also murmured his own opinion in a low voice, “Uncle Duncan has a lot on his mind – but in fact, his condition today is much better than the past few days, not so gloomy, but he seems to have a lot to think about.” Shirley tried to think for a moment

. , and then carefully looked up at Lucretia who was thinking about something next to her. She leaned next to Nina and whispered: “I don’t seem to understand what the captain said.” “Actually, I didn’t understand much either

. I understand,” Nina said with a bit of embarrassment, “That may be something that only people at the academic level can understand…” As soon as she

finished speaking, Lucretia beside her suddenly broke the silence: “Don’t mind, Even great scholars cannot fully understand them.”

Nina and Shirley were startled at the same time, and they looked at the witch lady in a daze.

Lucretia shook her head at them, her expression serious and serious.

“They are all ‘knowledge’ from subspace, but they have been ‘processed’ by my father and are less harmful – but they are still not things that ordinary people can easily understand.” (End of this chapter
