Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 693
[Chapter 680 The signal appears again]
A “nest” hidden in the thick fog on the border that may have been operating stably for many years – out of sight of the entire civilized world, even in the blind spot of the Four Gods Church’s surveillance, annihilating believers They built a “veil colony” that could survive in the “eternal veil” for a long time. This news instantly shocked everyone present!
“For many years, we have been looking for the lairs of those cultists…” Banster’s voice was hoarse and gloomy, and the old man in black robes had a particularly serious expression. “Among the three main cult groups, the Final Evangelist is on the timeline. Discontinuous ‘freaks’ on the world, the Sun Followers are a group protected outside the real dimension by the Black Sun. Only the Annihilation Cults… Theoretically, they must have one or more lairs in the real world, but after so many years, We haven’t been able to find these nests…”
“I didn’t expect it to be hidden in that kind of place,” Helena nodded, “But it does explain why they can avoid being hunted by the church for so many years – if that group The Annihilation Cults have really found a way to survive in the Eternal Veil for a long time, so they have obviously taken a big step forward than us.” As she spoke, she turned her gaze to
Rune on the other side: “What do you think? How did those cultists survive on the border?”
“The ‘Holy Land’ was not necessarily built by their own abilities,” Lu En shook his head. “The development of technology does not happen overnight, even if the Annihilation cultists have the No matter how much forbidden knowledge they have, they can’t create this kind of shelter out of thin air that is far beyond our imagination – after all, we have all dealt with them, and everyone knows how capable those heretics are. I even suspect that they are… I found some kind of naturally existing ‘heritage’ in the fog… After all, it is the border, and anything is possible.”
He suddenly stopped when he said this, raised his head and turned his eyes to Duncan, with a serious expression on his face: “Listen to you Just now, it seems that you haven’t found the specific location of this ‘nest’? Then how did you determine it…” “
I said, I captured one of their ships – that ship is currently under my command It will probably take a few days to return to the ‘Holy Land’,” Duncan said casually. “Based on its current course, its destination should be a secret place on the southeastern border, which is not very far from here… The Lost Home will set off soon and meet up with the ship before it enters the curtain. What about you? Are you interested in joining in the fun?”
Several popes looked at each other after hearing this.
From Duncan’s first two sentences, they noticed the weird and dangerous side of this ghost captain, but thankfully, this dangerous power is now on the side of “one of their own”.
Then all they have to consider is how to respond to this “invitation.”
“The southeastern border… there is a fleet of the Death Church right there.” After a brief pause, Frame suddenly spoke, and then glanced at Helena, “The ‘Tide’ seems to be nearby too? They should all be there.” We can catch up.”
“Yes, the Church of the Deep Sea can send the nearest fleet there,” Helena nodded immediately, looking at Duncan, “It is our responsibility to eradicate the cultists’ nests – and we also know how to deal with it. The ‘pollution’ they left behind.”
Several eyes fell on Banster. The old man in black robe did not show any change in his expression. He just nodded with a sullen face: “I will send the ‘Rest in Peace’ and the ‘No Rest in Peace’ Pass by, they are cutting-edge battleships with powerful firepower.”
The pope and bishops nodded after hearing this, seeming to acknowledge Banster’s arrangement, but Duncan couldn’t help but focus on the unique structure of the Church of Death. Regarding the naming style of the ships, after holding it in for a long time, I couldn’t help but say: “It sounds like… they are sister ships? The names are quite unique…” “
Many powerful battleships in the Death Church are sister formations – this is in line with our beliefs “It’s related,” Banster explained with a serious face, “We believe that everything in the world has ‘two sides’, just like the opposition and companionship of life and death.” Duncan felt that the old
man in black robe opposite him didn’t seem to be aware of his thick emotions. He wanted to complain – but he felt that the topic could end there.
Because he was afraid that something like the “Nine Clans Xiaoxiaole” would pop up across the street later… “
Then it’s settled,” he nodded, and brought the topic back on track a little stiffly, ” I will let the Lost Home take your fleet to the ‘rendezvous point’, but I want to remind you in advance that some time has passed since I ‘captured’ the ship. The cultists who stayed in the ‘Holy Land’ They must have been aware of this matter, and they must have been prepared – they have either evacuated, or set up an attack in the nearby sea area, or the Holy Land itself may even have strong combat capabilities. You must consider these risks or variables in advance. “
Risks and variables have always been an indispensable part of eradicating evil and filth,” Banster said with a nonchalant expression, “Our soldiers have long been used to it.” “Okay, then let me tell you about the recent period
. The information I got from those Annihilation cultists…”
…
The sun shines softly into the room through the window, and the rich smell of the plaster floats in the air, mixed with the refreshing smell of incense.
Ted Leal stood at the window, looking out thoughtfully.
From this position, he could see the huge academy ark anchored on the coastline of the city-state, and he could also see the steep “coast” on the edge of the Firebringer’s Temple in the other direction.
From time to time, citizens can still be seen on the street rushing to the pier, and people can be seen running together to see those majestic church ships. The celebration flags hung between the buildings this morning are still fluttering in the wind in the sunshine, and they don’t know where they came from. The colorful paper flowers blowing from everywhere flew past the window and disappeared into the clear sky in the distance.
People don’t know the details of this special “gathering”. They don’t know what the spokesmen of the gods gathered to discuss. No one knows about the changes caused by the “Fifth Ark”. They don’t know that His Majesty the Pope At this moment, he has actually left the Ark and gone to the ghost ship that has been feared and guarded by the world for a century – for most ordinary people, these things are too far away from their lives.
“…Ignorance is indeed a blessing sometimes.”
Ted Leal retracted his gaze towards the street and said softly to himself.
A voice almost immediately came from the bed not far away: “But if your students are this ‘lucky’, it will not be so lucky for the teacher.” The corners of Ted Leal’s mouth suddenly twitched and he turned his head
. Looking at Scholar Taran El who was lying on the bed: “A herniated lumbar disc doesn’t affect your ability to speak sarcastically, right?” “
Yes, my herniated disc is a lumbar disc, not my vocal cords…” “
…Get off. I will definitely get hemorrhoids, and then I will eat three portions of the Gulf Spicy Burrito in fifteen minutes in front of you!” “
Blessed Rahm, as the noble keeper of the truth – can’t you be more polite and generous?” Taran El squirmed on the bed and changed positions, but then returned to his original position with a grin on his face, “I’m already like this…”
Ted Leal did not respond to this man who was confined to bed because of a lumbar spondylosis. The scholar, who was so bored that he could only amuse himself, after a moment of silence, he glanced out the window again: “I wonder what they will talk about today.” Taran El looked up at
this A friend who came to visit him said: “You are the keeper of the truth – you really don’t know anything about it?” “The
Pilgrimage Ark and the city-state system operate independently. It’s not like you don’t know,” Ted Leal shook his head. “Once some things spread outside the Ark, they will pollute the entire world – if the truth keeper gets too close to ordinary people, he will naturally have to stay away from the core secret.” “…This is true,
” Taran El thought for a while and sighed, “So you, a ‘big shot’, can only come over to accompany me as a patient when the bosses are discussing things…”
Ted Leal was noncommittal, and he His silent attitude obviously made a certain academic even more bored – Taran El was quiet for less than half a minute, and then suddenly said: “Seriously, do you think the Pope’s His Majesty will follow him on that ship?” ‘Captain’ started fighting…”
“What do you think? How about I wait for Mr. Luen to come back and relay these questions of yours to him and let him answer you personally?”
Taran El shrugged and finally remained silent. .
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor, interrupting the “cordial and warm conversation” between the scholar and the keeper.
There was a knock on the door, accompanied by a young man’s somewhat nervous and urgent voice: “Teacher, there’s a situation…”
Taran El recognized the voice of his student, and immediately said before Ted beside him could speak: “Come in .”
The door to the room was pushed open, and a reckless young apprentice walked in with a large pile of paper tape.
But just as he was about to speak, he saw the Keeper of Truth standing in the room. He stood there nervously and forgot to speak.
It was Ted Leal who broke the silence first: “Your teacher is fighting his lumbar disc, so if there’s something wrong with your studies, just ask me.” Taran El pushed himself up from the bed
. He stood up, bared his teeth and looked at the nervous young apprentice standing in the middle of the room: “Joshua, calm down – what happened?” “
Oh…oh!” The young apprentice finally reacted and hurriedly bent down. Salute to the secret keeper of the truth, and then hurriedly ran to his teacher’s bed, “Teacher, something happened at the maritime research station. They received a signal from the center of the ‘luminous body’… “
As he spoke, he handed the large piece of paper tape with the waveform diagram in his hand to Taran El.
“This signal… is very similar to the signal sent by the luminous object when the sun went out…”
