Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 685

[Chapter 676 Assembly]

The leaders and bishops of the Four Gods Church will gather on a ghost ship returning from the subspace to hold a rally – this kind of thing seems too explosive no matter what time it is placed. It is the kind of person who would do this in a city-state. After shouting, everyone who heard it had to consider for a long time whether to report the matter to the judge or to the mental hospital.

But now it’s really happening.

The Lost Home arrived at the agreed place at the appointed time – off the coast of Breeze Port, in the calm waters near the Cathedral of Storms. It stopped here, and then “visitors” from the four patrol arks arrived one after another in small boats. .

Shirley was lying behind a railing on the stern deck of the ship, peering around at the priests on the middle deck who were looking around nervously or trying to calm themselves down. While observing, she muttered to the shadows beside her: ” They really dare to come… Have you seen that bald man? His forehead is so bright and he is sweating…”

Agou’s voice came muffled from the shadows: “It’s too scary… I used to be in the city-state. Not to mention meeting people of this level, we have to hide away when we meet a few guards…”

“Things are different now… Is that the word?” Shirley said proudly, “Now it’s them who want to Avoid us – at least that’s how it works on the ship. Hey, do you want to jump out and scare them? This opportunity is rare…” “I can jump out

, but you may get beaten by the captain when you turn around – Did I really jump?”

“No, no, I’m just joking…”

On the deck, the doll Luni, who came to the Lost Home with the hostess, was guiding the “visitors” through the central deck in an orderly manner. Heading to the door leading to the cabin, the clockwork doll looked back in the direction of the stern deck, then turned to explain to a deep-sea priest wearing a bishop’s robe beside him: “That is Miss Shirley, she is the student of the old master. ‘, you don’t have to be nervous.”

“But I feel the aura of the deep devil…” The nervous Deep Sea Bishop couldn’t help but say, “Right next to that ‘Miss Shirley’…” “

That’s Ah Mr. Dog is Miss Shirley’s guardian dog,” Luni explained calmly. “He is also the old master’s student, so you don’t have to be nervous.”

Deep Sea Bishop: “…?”

Luni didn’t pay attention to the sudden weirdness of the other party. Looking at her eyes, she clapped her hands and raised her head to introduce to the surrounding priests who had just boarded the boat: “I would like to emphasize some common precautions – “The

ropes on the boat sometimes move suddenly. Don’t worry if you are tied up, they are If they are tied up and played with, they will be released after a little greeting; don’t worry if you encounter buckets rolling around, they are probably just transporting things; if you pick up a silver-haired doll’s head and the doll’s body cannot be seen nearby , please take the head to the mainmast and give it to a talking pigeon, and the pigeon will help return the head;

“In addition, do not go to unopened areas casually. If you get lost, stay where you are immediately; there is no prohibition on the ship. Pray to the gods, but the gods cannot help you escape from the blocked cabin, so you still have to keep in mind the few ‘codes’ I mentioned before; if you see individuals suspected of being descendants of the deep sea in some places on the ship, stay calm and leave, they are fish; don’t mind the sudden appearance of a strange shadow in the mirror or in a dark corner, that is Lady Agatha taking a walk – she will not enter the visitor’s lounge… “Always remember that the ship is safe

and It’s a friendly atmosphere. If you feel like you’re going to die, please repeat this in your mind: The ship is safe and the atmosphere is friendly. Reflect on whether your actions violate the code instead of questioning whether there is something wrong with the environment… “Finally, I wish you

all Everyone will have a fulfilling day aboard the Great Lost Home – meals will be provided after the meeting. Rest assured, they are all edible. “

The clockwork doll smiled and bent down to the visitors.

“Please follow me next, and we will go to the hall. “

The priests who boarded the ship were either nervous, doubtful, or cautiously observing this ghost ship that was haunted by countless strange legends and dangerous atmospheres. A clockwork doll made “safety” for them on the deck. “Tip” did not reduce the tension in the hearts of these people with normal views, but instead increased the weird atmosphere they felt here – but driven by their mission and responsibility, they could only put aside their worries, Obediently following the guidance of the weird clockwork doll, she walked towards the cabin.

Vanna stood far away under a mast, looking at Luni who was busy in the distance with a little worry, and couldn’t help but whisper Muttering: “I think Miss Lucretia shouldn’t have arranged for Luni to be the ‘reception’ – it’s better to let Mr. Morris and I go…” “

But I think this is good,” Helena said A voice sounded from the side. The elegant female pope stood next to Vanna, with an inexplicable smile on her face. Her eyes fell on the deck in the distance, and there was some joy in her tone, “This can be done in the shortest time.” It took time for them to realize why I would emphasize to them ‘don’t make a fuss’ before boarding the ship, and let them “take everything on the Lost Home for granted.” “

She stopped and looked thoughtfully at the huge silhouettes of the Ark ships on the distant sea: “…the bishops have profound knowledge and superb magical attainments, but they are in the ‘normal’ Ark. I’ve been online for too long, this ‘normal’ won’t last forever. “

Fanna felt that there seemed to be some deep meaning in the words of the female pope, but before she was about to ask a question, Helena spoke first: “Are you still used to being on this ship? “

Uh… it’s pretty good,” Fanna was stunned and quickly replied, “Everyone is very friendly, and I can get access to a lot of unknown knowledge. I am also constantly accumulating experience in fighting against heresy and blasphemy.” “

That’s good,” Helena smiled, and then before Vana could speak, she walked towards the cabin on her own, “Let’s talk after the meeting is over – we can’t keep ‘Captain’ waiting for too long.” . “

Fanna was startled for a moment, and then she noticed that there seemed to be a line of sight falling on her.

Following this feeling, she looked in the direction of the line of sight, and saw an extraordinarily tall man among the crowd. An extremely eye-catching figure is looking at him on the deck in the distance.

It is a Senjin man wearing a simple short robe, with skin as gray as white rocks and deep and steady eyes.

It is the leader of the Fire Bearer, Frame.

This The little giant-like Sen’jin pope nodded to this side from a distance, and then left in silence.

Vanna was in a daze for a moment, and the moment her eyes intersected with those calm eyes, she couldn’t help but recall She saw the boundless desert and the old giant who was trekking with her on the desert…

The next second, Vanna suddenly woke up from her trance. After a brief hesitation, she also stepped towards the direction of the cabin.

The captain’s The call was ringing in her heart – the time had come.

Everyone gathered in the largest cabin in the upper area of the Lost Home.

It is said to be a “meeting hall”, but in fact this is just the restaurant on the Lost Home – the servants sent by Lucretia in advance have roughly tidied up the place, rearranged the tables and chairs, and arranged it into a meeting place. look.

Compared to the luxurious sanctuaries and magnificent temples on the Pilgrimage Ark, this “assembly venue” is obviously not that gorgeous.

But the people gathered here obviously dare not pay attention to the so-called “shabby” issue.

This is the Lost Home, a shadow returning from subspace, and the “Fifth Ark” inspired and revealed by the four gods – every inconspicuous corner of this ship is different for this world. meaning.

Just being able to board this ship is enough to become an unforgettable experience for one person…even if they are respected bishops and “inner court priests” on the Pilgrimage Ark.

The irrelevant personnel had already retreated, and the golem servants sent from the Brilliant Star for “support” closed the door when they exited the hall.

Ordinary priests sit on the periphery of the assembly hall. Dozens of bishops are divided into four areas according to the gods they follow. A circle of seats is placed in the center of the hall. Helena, Frame, Banster and Lu En sat on four of the chairs, and opposite them were the real owner of the ship and the owner’s “followers”.

Duncan deliberately asked Lucretia to decorate the venue like this.

He could notice that all eyes were focused on him – those eyes were complicated.

The tense atmosphere never dissipated from these people from beginning to end.

But he didn’t care.

“We meet again,” his eyes first fell on Helena opposite – this “deep sea female pope” was the first Orthodox leader he came into contact with in this world, and the first person he came into contact with in the civilized world. One of the starting points, “Welcome to my ship – I have fulfilled my promise and am still on the side of ‘civilization’.”

Helena returned the greeting politely and appropriately, but at the same time her eyes involuntarily fell on Duncan’s side. On Vanna in the distance.

The female pope’s expression was always calm and tranquil, but there was something strange in the depths of her eyes.

Just now, Vanna naturally sat on the side representing the Lost Home…

The Storm Saint and the Deep Sea Judge did not hesitate.

But soon, she put away this weird emotion. After briefly adjusting her expression, she opened her mouth to break the somewhat solid atmosphere of the scene.

“This is a closed-door meeting, and the nature of the meeting is already understood by everyone – so let’s cut through all the red tape and get straight to the point. “Let’s discuss what has happened in our world

. , and what’s to come. “

She turned her head and her eyes fell on Lu En beside her.

“The most knowledgeable among us has brought something, which may help explain to some people present who don’t understand the truth what… …‘The Great Annihilation’. “

Lu En nodded, and then waved to the side.

A scholar immediately stepped forward and handed something covered in black cloth into his hand.

Duncan looked at this scene curiously – he saw Lu En En opened the piece of black cloth, and what was underneath surprised him for a moment.

It was a birdcage.

There was just an ordinary-looking black bird sitting quietly in the cage. .

However, Lu En’s expression became serious. He raised the birdcage in his hand and showed it to everyone present.

“This is a black-feathered puffin, and it also has a famous name. , well known in scholarly circles.

“Crazy Bird – In 1726, the famous ‘Hippa Incident’ gave this little bird this frightening name.

“About the ‘Great Annihilation’, I want to start with this little bird. ”
