Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 619
[Chapter 617 Unintentional Touch]
Nina and Maurice were walking on the forest path. The skylight filtered through the lush tree canopy and cast mottled beams of light in the forest. A thin layer of fog appeared in the forest at some point. The sun is dispersed in the fog, making it look increasingly dreamy and hazy.
The elf girl who calls herself “Shireen” walks not far ahead, stopping and looking back from time to time. She always looks patient.
“There’s fog in the forest,” Nina looked up at the shadowy trees in the distance and whispered in her heart, “This is the first time I’ve seen fog here… Uncle Duncan, how are you doing there?”
She slowed down her pace, with a serious expression on her face that was listening attentively. Morris, who was walking next to her, also slowed down, also listening carefully to the voice coming from deep in her mind.
After a while, the old scholar’s voice sounded through the spiritual connection: “You mean… the construction records of the Lost Home? The information of the Pland Shipyard back then?” Then the old gentleman
listened carefully for a while, with a serious expression. He nodded and responded from the bottom of his heart: “I understand…this part of the information must still be there, but it is definitely not accessible by normal means. I will discuss it with Fanna later and see if I can find old friends in the city-state, or Regarding the church.”
The voice from the back of my mind gradually faded away.
Nina blinked and looked at the teacher walking beside her curiously: “Why did Uncle Duncan suddenly want to find the construction records of the Lost Home?” “I don’t know, maybe the
captain was on the Lost Home in the dream. ‘Something was found in the depths,’ Morris said casually, ‘but since he didn’t say the specifics, we’d better not take the initiative to ask.’
Obviously, after joining the Homeless Ship for so long, the old man has become very skilled. Master the safety rules around the captain.
Then he paused, frowned slightly, and looked at the white mist that was lingering in the dense forest and seemed to be getting thicker as time went by.
“The fog is getting thicker…” he said with a serious expression, “I don’t know much about the ‘forest’, but I always feel that something is not right about this fog.”
Nina thought for a while and was eager to try: “Use Can the sunshine be dispersed?”
Morris subconsciously glanced at “Shireen” walking in front, and quickly waved his hand to stop the girl’s enthusiasm: “Don’t be rash, your sunshine seems to be a strong stimulus to this dream.”
” Oh…”
During their delay, Shirin, who was walking in front, stopped.
It was as if she could accurately sense the distance between herself and Morris and Nina at all times. Whenever the distance widened to a certain extent, she would stop immediately, and sometimes she would curiously ask and urge – just Like now.
“What happened?” The elf girl looked at the two people who were mumbling behind them in confusion. “There is not much time to waste – we have to return to the Wall of Silence before encountering erosion.”
” There’s a lot of fog around.” Nina immediately took two steps to follow Shirin and took this opportunity to ask directly, “Does it often get foggy like this here?” “Fog?”
Shirin was stunned for a moment. Then he raised his head and glanced around, then seemed to have just reacted, with a sudden expression on his face and a smile to Nina, “We are very close to our destination… We are almost inside the wall of silence.”
“You mean, these fogs are caused by the ‘Wall of Silence’?” Morris’s voice immediately came from the side, “Or, these ‘fogs’ are part of the Wall of Silence?” “It’s really spectacular, right
? “Shilin did not answer the scholar’s question directly, but looked around the dense forest that was gradually being swallowed up by the fog with a strange kind of excitement and joy, as if she was the one who saw the Wall of Silence for the first time. , “Here, you can’t even see it in its entirety – but Selantis can see that from a very high place, from the sky, the branches of Selantis can overlook this wall…
“It closed in front of her eyes, isolating the entire country from the erosion of the outside world… We haven’t arrived yet, there is still a little distance, deep in the mist, there is a barrier made of light, which is the body of the Silent Wall, but that has already It’s very close, almost just a blink of an eye…”
Shirin said happily, this “mental entity” that seemed extremely calm all the way, and even somewhat dull in reaction seemed to have gained extreme agility in just a few seconds. She turned around and quickly walked towards the path deep in the thick fog, waving to Nina and Morris as she walked –
“Hurry up, follow me, we are going back to a safe place! “
This was the first time Nina saw the other party acting like this. She was stunned for a moment before reacting. However, she saw that Shireen’s figure had almost disappeared into the depths of the flowing fog. She quickly chased after Morris. She went up, but for some reason, she had a vague feeling…
that she couldn’t catch up.
Although before this, Shireen would always wait for herself and the teacher who were lagging behind, and although the “Shireen” encountered by Shirley and Miss Lucretia had the same “behavior pattern”, this time, But Nina felt that the other party would never stop and wait for her – Shirin’s steps were so unhesitating that she almost rushed towards the shadowy trees in the fog, like a long-lost wanderer returning home, a drop of water returning. the ocean.
The elf finally disappeared into the boundless fog and never looked back.
Nina and Maurice were left looking at each other in the misty forest.
After a while, Morris looked thoughtfully towards the direction where Shireen last disappeared: “Her mental reaction was that she disappeared directly at the end of the road – a few seconds after her figure disappeared from our sight. Within the clock.”
Nina thought for a while and then said uneasily: “Then we have lost our way… There are fog and trees everywhere here, and they look the same everywhere.” “
We didn’t know the way from the beginning,” Morris is quite tolerant, “You don’t have to worry about getting lost in a dream – because theoretically, you will always get lost if you move in a dream.”
Nina listened to the teacher’s teachings for a while, and felt that it made sense: “That’s true.”
Then she asked again: “Then what should we do next? Do you need me to ‘fly’ up to see the situation again? ? I can be more restrained.”
“Unless absolutely necessary, try to avoid stimulating this dream.” Morris waved his hand, and then roughly confirmed the direction in the thick fog when Shireen’s mental reaction disappeared, and raised his hand to point to the end of the path in the distance, “We Just go in this direction, along the path that Shireen finally pointed out to us.”
“Okay!”
In this way, the two people, one old and one young, began to trek through this seemingly endless fog and dense forest.
They only have a general direction.
But Nina still remembers that Shireen said before leaving that this place is only one step away from the Wall of Silence – in some distant past, the shelter built by Silendis for the elves was located on this thick wall. The end of the fog.
Arrive in the blink of an eye.
The skylight shining through the gaps in the tree crowns has gradually dimmed at some point, and the mottled light beams have turned into vague and suspicious shadows in the thick fog. The forest is rugged, and the paths tread by wild animals when drinking water cannot be called “roads” at all, but Even such “trails” are not always available – in more places, the ground covered with dead branches and leaves is softer and harder to walk than the rugged trails.
And I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Nina always feels that the ground here is getting harder and harder to walk on, and the plants are becoming dense and chaotic. The vines and bushes are intertwined as if they are consciously blocking them, and there is a kind of coldness in the fog. The atmosphere is as if…the front is not the “final refuge” at all, but the biggest shadow in this vast dream.
She stopped suddenly.
In the thick fog, she seemed to see something flash by.
Nina almost slapped her with a temperature of 6000℃.
But she restrained her urge to be too sunny in time.
“It seemed like something ran through the fog just now,” Nina said nervously to Morris. “I was shocked!”
Morris glanced at Nina and saw two dancing words deep in the girl’s eyes. There was a cluster of golden flames, and the air around her was gradually calming down from its distortion.
The old man suddenly looked a little nervous – he wasn’t afraid that something dangerous might appear in the fog, he was afraid that Nina would destroy the forest with a slap.
After all, this kid was a bit shocked.
“Did you see what it was?”
“No,” Nina shook her head. “I just felt like it was a very tall ‘person’. It ran over in the blink of an eye, but maybe it wasn’t a person? It felt like the outline was weird. …It seems to be deformed.”
“…I can’t tell what it is at the moment,” Morris frowned and said, “But I didn’t feel any mental activity just now, so it’s most likely just a phantom produced in the fog… We still have I don’t know what the so-called ‘silent wall’ is, so it’s possible to see anything in it.”
He paused and couldn’t help but add: “The key is that you have to be calm… Control your urge to do anything.”
Nina nodded nervously, taking a few steps forward while continuing to pay attention to the movements in the mist around her.
At this moment, a chaotic wind seemed to suddenly blow through the dense forest.
She felt that the fog in front of her suddenly dissipated a lot, and then, a vague, distorted mirror-like “light curtain” appeared at the end of the gradually dissipating fog.
The shimmering light was shaking in the fog, and the surface reflected the distorted light in the forest. There seemed to be something behind the light curtain, but it was hazy and unclear.
Nina was stunned for a moment, and then she realized – they had arrived.
That’s the “barrier made of light” at the end of the Wall of Silence that Shireen mentioned!
The next second, Nina and Morris quickly arrived in front of the light curtain.
A barrier made of light stands majestic and majestic at the edge of the fog, like the end of the entire forest world, extending upward to the endless sky, extending to both sides to the endless distance, and there is flowing brilliance on the barrier. The surface moves slowly, as if isolating the world on both sides of the shimmer, quietly guarding the infinite secrets on the other side.
“So… beautiful.” Nina raised her head blankly and admired subconsciously.
Morris stepped forward. He asked Nina to step back slightly, then cautiously stretched out his hand and touched the layer of light that seemed to have no thickness.
And so, the wall of silence collapsed silently.
This wall of light seemed to connect heaven and earth, seemed to be endlessly broad, extremely majestic and majestic, and shattered silently like a soap bubble.
