Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 659
[Chapter 652 Little Sun and Little Sun]
Even though he had already seen the “shrunken” moon, after seeing and touching this small ancient star with his own eyes, Duncan still found it unbelievable.
It was now in his hand, emitting a warm light, and the flames on its surface swept harmlessly across his fingers, leaving only a very slight touch, like a feather brushing against the skin.
But Duncan knew that in a long time ago, this small ball with bright light once illuminated the sky of the Senjin people and sheltered a civilization.
“…The followers of the Black Sun want to get this thing, and one of the ‘scions’ is even willing to risk his own life for this. What do you think they want to do with this ‘sun’?” The eyes of the goat head reflected the reflection from the sun. Duncan asked curiously with the sunlight radiating from his palm.
“Whether they are the children of the sun or the remnants of the sun known as the ‘remnants’, their only goal is always to ‘resurrect’ their ‘mother body’, which is the dying black sun.” Duncan carefully turned the sun in his hand. “Mini star,” he said without raising his head, “This seemingly inconspicuous ball carries ‘information’ from before the Great Annihilation. For the black sun in poor condition… it may be some kind of The ‘key material’ for self-healing.”
He paused for a moment, and then slowly said some of the ideas that had gradually formed in his mind since just now –
“In that golden crystal, I saw what they had been. The home for survival, they have a huge technological entity built around the star, and their entire civilization exists on the basis of that technological entity. When the Great Annihilation occurred, this huge structure must have been contaminated by other worlds. ‘, thus distorting and mutating into its current posture…
“I have a bold guess that the so-called ‘black sun’ may be some kind of ‘hybrid’ – the entire civilization that was born around the star ‘collapsed’ together with their star. , the distortion became its current form, and this ‘mixing’… caused the Black Sun to be far more chaotic and chaotic than other ancient existences, and also had more ‘defects’. “
He raised his hand and shook the “ancient star” in his hand.
“Those descendants of the sun may think that another ancient star can help them repair the ‘defects’ of the black sun. I don’t understand the principle, but one thing is certain. There’s no doubt – if they do succeed, big things are going to happen. “
…Fortunately they failed. ” “The goat head said sincerely.
Duncan nodded, and then looked thoughtfully at the ancient star in his hand.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the captain’s room, and then there was a knock on the door. Voice, Nina’s voice sounded outside the door: “Uncle Duncan! Are you in it?
Duncan raised his eyebrows and responded immediately: “Come in. ” “
The door to the captain’s cabin opened, and Nina peeked inside, then got in with a smile: “Dinner is ready! I’ll tell you to go to dinner! “
Duncan looked at Nina with a bright smile on her face, but his heart suddenly moved.
“You came just in time,” he waved to the girl, “Come and take a look at this. “
Nina immediately walked over obediently and noticed the “little sun” in Duncan’s hand at first glance. She looked at the beautiful luminous ball with wide eyes and quickly realized: “This is not Vanna. The ‘sun’ that the lady brought out from that desert? “
Take it,” Duncan casually handed the “little sun” to Nina, “How do you feel?” Nina
took the small ball, which was almost as big as her fist, with some confusion. She put it in front of her eyes and looked left and right, then seriously “feeled” it, and looked at Duncan in confusion: “There’s no ‘feeling’ at all.” …I just feel warm. “
That’s all? ” “Duncan frowned, subconsciously thinking about what tests he should ask Nina to do, and just when he was distracted, a crisp “click” sound suddenly reached his ears. He raised his head in surprise
. , seeing Nina looking here with a stunned expression, a small wisp of flames and dots of debris were coming from the corner of her mouth, and a small piece of the surface of the “ancient star” in her hand was missing. , and obvious tooth marks can still be seen on the missing edge.
Duncan: “…? !
“I…I couldn’t hold it back! ” “Nina finally reacted belatedly, almost jumping up and waving her hands, “I just saw that the size of this thing was quite suitable, and… then… anyway, I subconsciously bit it…” “Don’t worry about it yet
. shake. “Duncan quickly interrupted Nina’s panic, stood up and grabbed the little sun in her hand – he was worried that Nina’s bite would destroy the stability of this “star”, although he didn’t know how. How powerful a star compressed to such a size would be after losing control, but this is obviously an extremely dangerous thing. But
nothing happened.
The “star” that was bitten off neither collapsed nor exploded, and still emitted It felt mild and harmless heat.
And when Duncan looked at its surface again, he discovered that the small gap had disappeared at some point.
Nina also came over curiously, blinking and looking at the new The “little sun” turned into a complete sphere. It took a long time to say: “Has it grown yet?” “
Duncan looked at the “little sun” in his hand strangely, and then looked up at the “little sun” on the Lost Home. Even though he was used to all kinds of weird anomalies and anomalies, he suddenly felt that he His brain seemed a little insufficient.
After countless outrageous and weird thoughts came to his mind, he handed the mini “star” to Nina again: “…take another bite. “
Nina obediently took the “little sun” and put it to her mouth to nibble again. She chewed it with a click and made a crunching sound. To be honest,
Duncan was even a little greedy…
The next second, that one…” “Little Sun” was once again restored to its original state under the watchful eyes of Duncan and Nina.
Nina raised her head and looked at Duncan, then at the “little sun” in her hand, with a confused look on her face: “…why?”
Duncan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead vigorously – how did he know? !
“I guess even the most outstanding scholars in the world can’t answer your question,” Duncan said while rubbing his head, and looked at the sparks shooting out of the corners of Nina’s mouth with strange eyes. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn’t help but speak. , “…Does it taste good?”
“Crispy,” Nina said honestly, “It feels good, but I don’t know what it tastes like.”
“…Do you still want to eat it?”
Nina’s eyes suddenly widened. Bright (it was really bright, the captain’s cabin was lit up): “Can it?!”
Duncan: “…”
The captain’s cabin fell into silence for a while, and Duncan tried his best to use what he had learned in his life and all his imagination Trying to explain what all this was about, Nina curiously grabbed the “little sun” and looked at it over and over, seeming to be looking for the next place to bite.
After an unknown amount of time, Duncan decided to give up understanding this matter.
“You don’t feel any discomfort yourself, do you?” He shook his head, suddenly worried about whether Nina would have any physical problems after “devouring stars”.
“No, it’s warm and comfortable to eat,” Nina shook her head and said, “Uncle Duncan, can I have another bite?” “…I suggest you not try again
at least today,” Duncan thought for a while, then said in a serious tone, but with a somewhat uneasy expression, “If you still feel no discomfort tomorrow… feel free to do whatever you want.”
After saying this, he paused and added: “Originally, I just wanted to I gave it to you for safekeeping.”
What he said was not lying. Before Nina came in just now, he was thinking about the placement of this “little sun”. For natural and obvious reasons, it seemed appropriate to leave it to Nina for safekeeping. A logical thing – first of all, there is an essential connection between the two. Nina may be able to discover more secrets of the “Little Sun” by keeping it. Secondly, from the perspective of safety, a slap of 6000℃ Nina is also powerful enough to ensure that no one can steal this “star”.
But it was an accident that the eldest niece thought this “little sun” tasted good…
Nina didn’t think too much about it. After hearing Duncan’s arrangement, she immediately became happy and nodded vigorously: “Yeah!
” It’s like a puppy getting the bone it cherishes so much.
Looking at Nina with a smile on her face, Duncan couldn’t help but feel worried again in his heart –
leave it to her… is it really okay?
Although it seems that this “little sun” will immediately return to its original state after being chewed, I don’t know if there is an upper limit to this recovery. If it is left to Nina for “keeping”…will she one day take it away? All the stuff was eaten…
“Uncle Duncan?”
The call from beside him woke Duncan up from his distraction. He quickly put aside the weird thoughts in his mind and turned to face Nina’s sunny face.
“Are you going to eat?” Nina asked with a bright smile.
“…”
In the end, Duncan couldn’t bear to take the “little sun” back.
At the same time, the huge Academy Ark had sailed to the coast of Qingfeng Port.
In the lounge on the upper level of the Ark, Rune was sitting on a chair, closing his eyes and relaxing.
Judging from the situation of the elves left behind on the Ark, the impact of the Dream of the Nameless One on the real world has indeed completely subsided. Even those elves who once completely disappeared have now returned to the real world.
After the pressure was suddenly relieved, fatigue quietly emerged. Rune had rested for a long time after returning to the Ark, and only now did he feel that his energy was slightly restored.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at his hands and the wrinkled skin that was no longer full of vitality.
“You are indeed getting older.”
He muttered with emotion, then got up from the chair and walked to the experimental table not far away.
“…It’s time to chat with some old friends.”
