Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 695

[Chapter 681 After the meeting]

hearing the report from the apprentice Joshua, Taran Eyre and Ted Leal looked at each other almost at the same time. Before the latter spoke, Taran had already turned to the apprentice and spoke: “The second door on the left of the iron cabinet by the window in the next room, the blue paper tape box – run there!” “

Ah… ok!!” Joshua hurriedly agreed, turned around and ran away. After leaving the room—and then a series of bumping sounds in the hallway and rummaging around in boxes in the next room—Ted Leal almost worried that the reckless young man was planning to tear the building down. Before dropping it, he ran back in a hurry, holding the sealed file box in his hand.

Ted Leal took out the records in the file box and compared them with the paper tapes that Joshua had just sent to the room. He then went to the bedside where Taran Eyre was lying and gave the two records to the latter. Take a look.

Taran El’s eyes fell on the old and new paper tapes, identifying each peak and trough in them, and the dark color gradually became more solemn.

“Is it the same signal?” The voice of the Keeper of Truth sounded from the side.

“Excluding the distortion caused by interference and the possible errors caused by the instrument itself…it should be the same signal.” Taran El said seriously.

“…This is the ‘light signal’ recorded by Ms. Lucretia on the Brilliant Star before,” Ted Leal stared at the record that had been sealed in the paper tape box with a thoughtful expression. , “It is information released from the internal circulation of the ‘light body’ during the extinguishing of the sun, but we have not been able to decipher its meaning so far…” He suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky outside the

window.

The sun is slowly approaching the distant building roof, the brilliant double runic rings are shining in the sky, and the magnificent corona is still emitting infinite light and heat – the time is approaching dusk, but Vision 001 itself shows no signs of extinguishing. .

However, the “luminous geometry” located near Qingfeng Harbor suddenly began to release this weird “signal” that had appeared during the sun’s extinction… Why is this?

“Is this signal repeating?” Taran Ayre asked his student.

“Yes…yes,” Joshua nodded hurriedly, obviously very nervous, “When the observation station transmitted the data, this signal had been repeated three times…” “What do you think of

this?” Taran ·Al turned his head and looked at his old friend.

“…I want to go to the observatory in person. These signals feel very unusual. I always feel that this is the strange ‘luminous geometric object’ trying to ‘contact’ with the outside world. Maybe I can find something in the past. What clues?” Ted Leal said quickly, walking to the clothes rack not far away and picking up his coat and hat. “In addition, we should also tell the news to the few people gathered at the ‘Fifth Ark’. Their Maybe I haven’t noticed anything unusual yet…”

The truth keeper was ready to go out, then picked up his heavy book that recorded many miraculous techniques, and opened the door that depicts “doors” in it. One page, but suddenly he stopped again, raised his eyelids and looked at the great scholar lying on the hospital bed.

Taran Ayre suddenly felt a little uneasy: “…What do you think I’m doing?”

“If the sun happens again this time, you just stay in bed – your last shocking move has already affected you.” It’s time for the safety assessment of the entire college.”

“Nonsense! Now my lumbar disc is almost reaching my crotch. Where else can I go!” Taran El suddenly stared at him. If it weren’t for the fact that his lumbar spine really didn’t allow it, he seemed to If you want to fly up and bite people, “Do you think I am willing to fly over the walls of the teaching building and clock tower?”

However, Ted Leal shook his head after hearing this: “…Experience tells me that lumbar disc herniation cannot completely stop you. Curiosity – as long as the target has enough research value, you can get out of the hospital bed.”

As he said this, the truth keeper came to the scholar’s bedside and casually placed a hand on his bed. He tapped on the “Book of Miracles” – and then a small and illusory scalpel appeared in his hand.

Taran El instantly realized what was causing his uneasiness just now, and immediately shouted: “What are you doing… I’m warning you, Ted… you can’t… Fuck you can’t!” Ted

Leal But he didn’t pay any attention to the protest of the university scholar. He pointed the scalpel at Taran El from a distance and tapped it three times in the air: “This can effectively confine you to this bed – don’t worry, I will treat you when you come back.” Good on you.”

“Ted, you ****! The God of Wisdom gave you the knowledge of disease and treatment not for you to do this! I… (Elf expletive) (Qingfeng Port expletive) (Unbearable vulgar language) !!”

The great scholar’s excited but less energetic shouts rang out in the room. However, the Keeper of the Truth had already turned around and walked into a door that appeared out of thin air. Only the helpless apprentice Joshua was left in the room. , facing his teacher at a loss.

“…What are you looking at? Why don’t you bring my master’s hemorrhoid ointment!”

“Oh…oh!”

…

The main part of the meeting was over – after exchanging enough information and reaching a series of explicit “cooperation agreements”, Duncan and several church leaders present jointly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

But what is different from a normal “meeting” is that there are no flash lights, there are not a lot of reporters recording precious moments at this moment, there are no photos or images to leave any intelligence in the process of this meeting – not even a page is left on The words of the agreement on paper.

Because the things they discuss here are so sensitive that any form of meeting minutes may produce unpredictable “changes” one day in the future.

But all the participants didn’t mind this because they believed that the four gods’ testimony was enough.

The bishops left the venue first – Lucretia’s servants took these guests to the temporarily arranged rest area on the deck, where tea and snacks had been prepared in advance, and half an hour later, there were still people on the deck. There will be a small barbecue party.

Many participants still feel a little unreal, after all… enjoying a sumptuous dinner on the deck of the Lost Home under the sea breeze – even the most imaginative poets and playwrights in the world may not be able to Dare to conceive of this scene with a clear mind.

Other attendees had another level of worry – they were still worried about “food safety issues” on the ship, although they now accepted the fact that “Captain Duncan had humanity and had established a cooperative relationship with the church.” But they still felt there would be something on the ship that would be harmful to ordinary people’s physical and mental health, especially at so-called “barbecue parties.”

…In fact, they are right to worry.

But it didn’t work.

Because it is not yet time to return to the Pilgrimage of the Ark – the four popes are still at the meeting, the “closed meeting” after the public meeting is the really important part.

“Now we are the only ones left here.” In the hall that suddenly became quiet and empty due to the departure of the bishops, Duncan looked at the four people sitting opposite him. “We can also discuss some things that are not so suitable for the table. That’s what I mentioned above.”

“Where do you want to start first?” Helena said, “We will try our best to answer all your questions.” “

…Actually, it’s not really a question,” Duncan thought. Thinking, he spoke unhurriedly, “I just want to know, are your actions in the border waters… do you intend to hide them from the city-states forever? I am not talking about looking for the gods, but looking for new routes. If You have really found a new sea route. How do you plan to persuade city-states that have previously known nothing about these plans to carry out a large-scale population migration? There are also other ambitious ‘migration’ plans…” At this point, he

paused After a pause, his expression became serious: “To be honest, they sound really exciting, but as long as you calm down and think about it, you can realize that there are too many hasty decisions and too many taken-for-granted elements, especially for you. Plan to accomplish these ‘feats’ alone without telling the whole world – what do you think the real success rate is?” “…

Concealing it is also a helpless act. There is too much information that cannot be known to ordinary people. Those involved The ‘secret’ of the border can easily lead to catastrophe if it is leaked to ordinary city-states.” Helena sighed, “Of course, your doubts are correct. There are too many hasty and taken-for-granted elements in these plans. , and in any case, these large-scale actions cannot be concealed forever… I can only say that we did not expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly at the beginning.” “We initially based the time span of several centuries

on To plan all this,” Frame on the side nodded, “If there is enough time to buffer, we can rely on the relay of several generations to smoothly push forward these things, and we can have more energy to Screening and processing intelligence about the border, and delivering it safely to various city-states, now… I can only say that the time is too hasty.” “

Time… the time is indeed too hasty,” Duncan sighed softly, he knew What Helena and Frame said were helpless facts, so they did not dwell on this topic any longer. Instead, they sighed and turned to Fanna next to them, “Then let’s talk about something else. Fanna “Na, don’t you have something to say to Lord Frame?”

Sitting across the table, the tall, gray-skinned Fire Messenger Pope Frame was slightly startled, and then he seemed to realize something and adjusted his sitting posture. He looked at Fanna seriously.

Fanna stood up after a slight nod, turned and walked towards the corner of the hall – a moment later, she returned to everyone carrying an extraordinarily huge thing.

It’s the “cane” left behind by Tarezin.

“Be careful with the beams…” Duncan couldn’t help but remind him, “There are also pillars…”

Vanna nodded and was careful not to use the “cane” that looked like a giant tree trunk to smash the pillars in the hall. thing, and then slowly put it on the table in front of everyone.

“This is the ‘Chronicle’.”
