Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 615

[Chapter 613 The sun that cannot be taken away]

Fanna felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

She was no stranger to this feeling of not having enough brain power – when she was a student, she had this feeling every time she listened to Mr. Morris’s lectures, but since she entered adolescence, she has successfully replaced most of the brain’s work with muscles. After that, I didn’t feel this way for many years.

Now, that familiar feeling is back.

She looked at the “glowing ball” in the giant’s hand and blinked several times before she understood the other person’s words and the thing in his hand rationally and literally, but her emotional part was still confused – this was… …the sun that this world once was?

“Want to touch it?” The giant looked at Vanna’s stiff look, smiled friendly, and handed the “sun” in his hand to Vanna a little, “It’s not hot anymore.” Vanna felt this

sentence The words were weirder than ever before, but I didn’t know how to react.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she stretched out her hand out of nowhere – with a feeling that she couldn’t explain, she curiously touched the luminous ball in the giant’s hand.

It was only as big as a fist—a human fist. But in the hands of a giant, it looked like a delicate bead. There seemed to be many delicate structures running on the surface of the bead, and there were fine flames surging out. It moves, with alternating light and dark areas, and from time to time, some hair-like light rises up and falls back to the surface.

It feels only slightly warm to the touch, like hot water slightly above body temperature.

Vanna was in a daze. She thought of the familiar appearance of the sun – rising from the sea every day, carrying a brilliant double runic ring, which could bring light and warmth to the entire world. It was a “miracle” of astonishing scale, a The ancient grand “vision”.

At the same time, she also remembered that the captain said that the sun had another appearance, a more brilliant and larger appearance – not long ago, the captain began to try to tell his followers some knowledge originating from subspace, Among that knowledge is the concept of stars and the universe.

To be honest, Vanna didn’t understand the captain’s teachings very well. Even Mr. Morris and Miss Lucretia didn’t seem to understand them completely. But at least Vanna understood one thing… No matter what kind of sun it is, it doesn’t matter. It should be a… small ball as big as a fist.

The warm “little sun” left his hand.

The giant sat on the ground on the edge of the pit. He put the “sun” in the palm of his hand and put his hand on his lap. He lowered his eyes, as if immersed in memories and thinking. After a long time, he whispered: “They are full of energy.” They are intelligent and good at using various methods to explain the operation of the world. Although they are naturally weak, they can rely on ‘science’ to fight against things that are much more powerful than them. I have always thought that if they were still around, if Maybe they can explain what happened to this ‘sun’ because they have developed to this day…

“But when it fell, the world was already quiet. The last person had turned into the tower, and those smart minds were still there. All the wonderful insights have disappeared from this world – but I can’t understand this. “

Fana was silent for a while, but she was not just silent – she was telling the captain what happened here. She

told the captain – she might have found the “sun” that the cultists mentioned at the rally.

It is in the hands of this giant who calls himself a god, and it seems that… it can really be “taken away” with just one hand.

The giant does not seem to care about Vanna’s silence and her connection with some unknown existence at the level of consciousness. The exchanges and memories enveloped this lonely god of the past. He stared at the small “star” in his hand for a long time, which once illuminated the world and his mortal people. After a long time, he said to himself He said to himself: “I have been thinking about what destroyed this place… It didn’t happen in an instant, Traveler, it had a long process. “

“Process?” Fanna immediately noticed the word.

The giant nodded and spoke in his memory: “At first, it was some abnormal phenomena that could not be explained by existing knowledge. Clouds suddenly disappeared and appeared suddenly, there were flashes of unknown origin in the atmosphere, there was something wrong with the weather, and the plants were no longer normal. Growth;

“Then, the anomalies began to spread to deeper and more disturbing areas-gravity was changing, and there were gaps in the passage of time in various places; “In the

process, we observed the increasingly intense red Light is like a crack, it diffuses from the sky, seems to be constant in the sky and covers our world, distorting the starlight in the distance. Some kind of…’deformation’ erodes the world, and everyone is helpless.

” It was at that time that the archives were started. “

The giant suddenly stopped when he said this, and he looked at the tall tower again. It seemed that because he was not used to communicating with people, he would always suddenly fall into thinking or get distracted in the middle of speaking, but soon, he He spoke again:

“The long process has a quick end. When the archives were destroyed, I briefly felt… that something ‘touched’ our world. It took a long time for that thing to come to an end.” It got closer, and in the process of getting closer, it led to the long doomsday, and its final ‘touch’ was the final arrival and end of destruction. However, a long time has passed, and I still haven’t been able to understand that thing. ‘what exactly is it. “

“You said you felt something ‘touching’ the world? “Fana couldn’t help but open her eyes wide. Unknowingly, she had used honorifics when talking to the giant, “Did you really not see what that thing was? The

giant recalled it seriously and showed a hint of apology to Vanna: “Sorry, Traveler, I can see that you care about this, but what I said is all I know.” “

Fanna pursed her lips. She had to suppress the regret in her heart, and then her eyes fell on the “little sun” in the giant’s hand. She couldn’t let

this thing really fall into the hands of the heirs and remnants of the Black Sun.

After much hesitation, she finally decided to be more honest.

“There are people with malicious intentions. They have set their sights on the ‘sun’ in your hand… I don’t know if they will find this place, and I don’t know how to explain their origins to you, but…” she just

said Halfway through, the giant raised his hand again and placed the “light ball” in front of her: “Do you want to take it away?” The giant said in a gentle tone with a smile on his face

.

Vanna was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly waved her hand: “No, that’s not what I meant. You may have misunderstood…” “

It’s okay, Traveler,” but the giant interrupted Vanna again, still using his calm and friendly tone. He said in a tone of voice, “I can feel your kindness, and… I don’t think you can necessarily take it from my hand.”

Fanna was slightly startled, and after realizing that the giant did not mean to joke, she finally hesitated Then he stretched out his hand towards the luminous sphere – this time not to touch it, but to try to pick it up.

The warm touch came again, and Vanna felt like she was holding an entity. However, when she was about to exert force, the touch suddenly disappeared.

The sphere became a phantom and passed through her palm.

She looked at the sun that she couldn’t pick up with some surprise.

“I don’t know when, it became a part of me,” the giant’s voice came from the side, “Maybe it was the day I picked it up… One phantom picked up another phantom, and it can no longer be seen. Separated.

“Traveller, if you can’t take it away, then it seems that those people with bad intentions in your mouth can’t take it away either. “

The giant stood up from the ground.

He patted the sand on his robe, carefully put the “sun” close to his body, and then bent down to pick up the huge cane: “It’s time for us to go, traveler. “

Fanna asked subconsciously: “Where are you going? “

“Walking around in the world, there are many things here. Although you can’t see their appearance now, I want to introduce you to their stories and appearance in the past.” The giant turned his head and looked at the sea of sand in the distance, “You too You can tell me on the way about the origins of those ‘people with bad intentions’ – this world has been dead for many years, and I haven’t talked to people for too long. This is the first time I have heard… news from outsiders. .”

He paused, lowered his head and glanced at Fanna: “I have almost forgotten what curiosity is, thank you for reminding me.” “Why do

n’t we go down there and have a look?” Fanna pointed. Pointing to the tall tower in the center of the pit, “I thought…”

“There is nothing to see there anymore. What you see here is all of it.” The giant shook his head and turned and walked away, ” Let’s go, it’s getting dark again, the day and night here always change very quickly, but maybe we can reach another ruins before dusk – where you could once overlook the sea.” After listening to the giant’s words, Vanna looked back

. She silently said goodbye to that “high tower” in her heart, then turned around and followed the giant who was already more than ten meters away.

…

Duncan sat behind the chart table and remained in this position for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he took a deep breath.

Vanna found the “sun” and found it in a very…unbelievable state.

But for some reason, after hearing the situation reported by Fanna, apart from the initial surprise and confusion, he had no other emotion. Even the surprise quickly faded, leaving only one feeling… “So that’s it.” a feeling of.

Maybe it’s because he has witnessed the ten-meter-diameter “moon” with his own eyes, or maybe because he has long seen a “solar prominence” that can jump on the deck. After surviving in this weird and twisted world for so long, he The receptive ability has been fully exercised.

Then there is only one question left –

whether Vanna can take away the “sun”.

This can be a bit unsettling.
