Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 624
[Chapter 622 “Gathering”]
The sunlight around Nina finally gradually faded away. She came to Taran El in confusion, seemingly still confirming whether the elf scholar had really “awakened” from the hazy phantom state. She came over and looked up and down several times before she tentatively said, “Mr. Al, are you really awake?”
Taran Al ignored her and just frowned slightly, looking unhappy. good.
This made Nina suspect that the fireball explosion just now was a bit violent, and the scholar’s ears had not yet recovered.
However, a few seconds later, Taran Ayre suddenly reacted. He waved his hand to Nina in a panic, then rushed to the side, bent over and started to retching violently.
Nina was startled, but didn’t know what to do. She could only step forward to help pat the scholar on the back. After the scholar finally got better, she spoke nervously and awkwardly: “I’m sorry. , I must have shocked you…”
“No…that’s not the reason,” Taran Ayre gasped violently and waved his hands vigorously. Nina’s words of concern seemed to make him almost choke again. After gasping for nearly half a minute, the elf scholar finally straightened up and explained with a grimace, “Maybe it’s the medicine.”
Nina was stunned when she heard this: “Medicine? What medicine?”
“It’s used to make me able to The medicine to ‘wake up’ in this dreamland,” Taran El gasped, and said while beating his chest with his fist, “I’m the only one awake? Did you see anyone else?” Maurice was walking from the side at the moment
. Walking over, he frowned subconsciously after hearing what the other party said: “Is there anyone else? What is going on?”
Taran Ayre glanced at Morris, and then subconsciously looked around at the strange and strange environment around him. Obviously still a little dazed, but he still explained seriously: “His Excellency Ted Leal, the Keeper of the Truth, organized a team, and I served as the team’s advisor – we gathered before the dream began and drank the ‘Blood Crow’ Mixture…”
“Blood Crow Mixture?!” Morris was suddenly startled and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, “Are you a little messy?”
Nina couldn’t understand what they were talking about, so she couldn’t help asking. : “Mr. Morris, what’s the matter? What is Blood Crow Mixture?”
“A magic potion extracted from a variety of poisonous fungi. It is very dangerous,” Morris explained. “It directly affects the human spirit and delays After taking effect, it can put people into a state of suspended animation, detachment of soul and body, and dislocate perception – it is used to assist in interpreting extremely dangerous ‘knowledge’. People who drink the mixture can escape the fatal pollution or curse stage while sleeping in suspended animation. But because the mixture itself is too dangerous, the Academy of Truth will only allow the production and drinking of this mixture after strict academy review, strict safety preparations, and confirmation that it is necessary.” The old scholar explained, and then
endured He couldn’t help but glance at Taran Ayre: “I have to say it again…Are you guys a little messy?” “
But it’s effective, and my guess has been verified – as long as I forcefully create a stronger spirit. Dislocation’, we can wake up in the dream of the Nameless One, just like a punch machine automatically spits out substandard paper tape from the machine.” Taran Ayre spread his hands, “Of course, there is another possibility. We were directly ‘popped’ from the dream of the Nameless Man and returned to the real world, but now it seems… the power of this dream is greater than we imagined. Even suspended animation on the spiritual level can only make us wake up in the dream. , If you want to escape from this dream, you may need some other stimulation methods…”
At this point, he paused deliberately, with a proud look on his face.
“The advanced application scenario of the ‘sudden death method’ – I came up with this idea.”
Morris looked at this famous scholar who was as famous as himself in stunned silence. After holding it in for a long time, he said: “…the truth How did the Lord Keeper agree to your plan?”
“He does think there is something wrong with my plan,” Taran Ayre shrugged, “But I told him that although the matter is serious, safety should still be considered. First, so he finally agreed to start with a more conservative plan…”
Morris: “…?”
He always felt that he was already more radical on the path of academic research, but now he suddenly discovered that in Qingfeng Port In this elf city-state close to the border, the group of elves who face the “frontier areas” all day long are more powerful.
“Don’t show this expression, Maurice. In fact, I know what you are worried about. We are doing very dangerous things, and this is not in line with the behavior of a ‘scholar’.” Taran Ayre noticed Morris’s face His expression changed, and he finally stopped smiling and became serious, “But we may not have much choice.
” You may have received news that a condition called ‘sleeping sickness’ is occurring. Other city-states are spreading, which is obviously related to the development of the Dream of the Nameless One, and outside my laboratory, a big tree that has entered the real world from the dream is covering my roof and balcony with its crown… “So it
is It’s time to do something risky, because the world doesn’t seem to give us time to prepare for everything.”
Morris stopped talking.
Taran Ayre once again observed the surrounding environment. After a moment, he shook his head: “It seems that the first thing I do here is to find other people.” “The
good news is that you should all be in this ruins. The bad news is that the scope of this ruins is staggering.” Morris sighed, “Now let me tell you my first experience of operating in this dreamland – as the first time to ‘dream’, even if you If you stay in the same room with your companions in the real world, you will be randomly separated after entering the dream.”
Taran Ayre looked at Morris and Nina, who was standing behind Morris.
He did not see several other of Captain Duncan’s followers.
But it is obvious that these “homeless followers” who have already acted in the Dream of the Nameless One several times have accumulated a lot of experience related to this vast dreamland.
“I need more guidance.” Taran Ayre looked at the two people in front of him seriously.
…
“What was that just now?!”
In the forest outside the Wall of Silence, an Annihilation cultist wearing a black robe raised his head and looked at the sky, watching in amazement as the bright light gradually dissipated. After a long time, he couldn’t help but Breathed out softly.
However, the compatriots who were traveling with him could not answer this question – another Annihilation cultist was also looking in the same direction in shock, unable to make a sound for a long time.
Just now, a huge fireball rose from the depths of the forest. It was definitely not something that should appear in the dream of the Nameless One – it almost shone through the forest like another sun, tearing apart all the clouds and powerfully The light seemed to be enough to penetrate time and space, and in the light and impact of the fireball, the entire forest became “restless” for an instant.
Plants grew wildly, the earth trembled, and inexplicable roars came from the air.
It’s just as terrifying as when the “erosion phenomenon” breaks out.
But this horrifying anomaly only lasted a few seconds. Before some irreversible changes occurred in the forest, the fireball seemed to appear suddenly and suddenly disappear.
Only the two Annihilation cultists who were carefully setting up the “engraving” a minute ago were left looking at each other in the forest.
After an unknown amount of time, the believer who initially exclaimed broke the silence again: “That doesn’t look like the scene of Sirantes waking up…it’s not the same as what those preachers described.” “Then it might be someone
. An external force…” Another person lowered his voice unconsciously, “The huge fireball…could it be those followers of the sun who are causing trouble?” “No,
the saints are watching every move of those followers of the sun. They should They won’t suddenly do anything too out of the ordinary…and besides, even if they really want to break up in the end, they won’t be able to hold back now, right? The ‘final moment’ hasn’t come yet.” Two Annihilation
Cultists They muttered uneasily, and after a while, they finally thought of a direction in unison.
“Could it be…” One of them spoke, his tone hesitant and hesitant, “Could it be ‘his’ followers again?” “‘Him’?” “You know
who
I’m talking about.”
“…Are you kidding?” The voice of another Annihilation cultist suddenly became a little more nervous, “This kind of movement… This kind of movement…” He
held it in for a long time, and finally choked out the second half of the sentence: “This kind of movement…” What kind of monster is making this noise… We shouldn’t really want to fight this kind of thing, right?”
Even the cultists who followed Yushuang seemed to finally give up when faced with that incomprehensible power. I felt a hint of fear.
But at this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the forest, interrupting the conversation between the two cultists.
The two of them suddenly turned back to look in the direction of the sound like frightened birds, but suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the figure appearing in front of them.
It’s my compatriots.
It was Dumont, Richard, and the others who had previously dispersed to various parts of the forest to set the marks.
“Did you see the big fireball that appeared in the sky just now?” One of the two couldn’t help but said, “Could it be a follower of the ghost captain?” “We saw it,
it was really amazing,” Du Meng nodded, his voice as always, with a smoothness that convinced the people around him, “But don’t worry, we won’t encounter that force, and we will be safe in the future.” The two Annihilation cultists subconsciously said to each other
. glanced at it.
“Are we ready to evacuate?” One of them looked at Du Meng, “I think everyone has gathered.” “
Yes, everyone has gathered,” Du Meng smiled, and he slowly moved forward Go and lead everyone forward slowly, “It’s just you.”
