Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 762

[Chapter 744 Another Core]

Vanna left. Even though she was blessed, she needed a good rest at this time.

Duncan watched the other party leave the captain’s cabin, and it wasn’t until her figure disappeared outside the door that he withdrew his gaze and looked at the goat head who was sitting quietly on the edge of the navigation table: “What do you think of the revelations that Gemona conveyed to Vanna?” ‘?”

“…The large-scale collapse and disintegration of the sun seems to be something that the four gods knew would happen sooner or later.” The goat head held it in for a long time, and finally took the opportunity to speak, “I knew they knew about this. Son, I must have been holding it in for ten thousand years! When the Holy Lord Netherworld created the world, he also discussed it with them. As a result, when asked in the Deep Sea Age, no one said a word about what the problem was. Of course, we have to understand it after all. If this matter is revealed, more than one or two city-states will be frightened to death, and even the popes will be kept in the dark. Now, the sun is beginning to disintegrate…”

Duncan looked up and directly stretched out his hand to press the goat’s head. The balabala’s mouth: “I shouldn’t ask you.”

The goat’s head was gagged, and a mess of grunts came from the throat. A pair of obsidian eyeballs swayed hard on the wooden face. It was the first time that his eyes looked like this. Smart.

Duncan sighed and took his hand back: “I’m asking about the second half of the revelation… ‘They’ plan to talk to me. What do you think they will talk to me about? In what form will it be?” “

… I don’t know about that,” Goat Head finally spoke with some restraint this time, shaking his head angrily as he spoke, “Are we trying to trick you into taking over something again?”

Duncan didn’t speak, just quietly. I pondered for a long time.

It seems that “their” condition is really not good. Before, Gemona could send him a few pieces of information, but now she can only send revelations through Vana, and it is accompanied by such pollution…

At this moment, a A voice from far away suddenly interrupted Duncan’s thinking.

His eyes changed slightly in an instant, and he looked up at the oval mirror hanging on the wall not far away – a layer of illusory flames spread under his gaze, and the surface of the mirror suddenly became dark, accompanied by light and shadow. Emerging slowly.

Tirian’s figure appeared in the mirror.

“Father,” the “Steel Lieutenant General” had a solemn look on his face. The background behind him should be near the port area, and a dense golden light seemed to cover him behind him like a infiltration. It was obviously not a normal sunset, ” Sorry to disturb you suddenly…”

“It doesn’t matter,” Duncan waved his hand and said in a gentle tone, “What happened? So nervous?”

“…Our scholar entered the interior of the luminous geometry that fell in the frost, according to Luke We successfully found the core of the information Lecia shared before, but that thing… is not the same as what is in the information. I hope you can see it with your own eyes.” “

Not the same?” Duncan frowned slightly , he realized from Tirian’s reaction that the situation over there might be a bit complicated, and immediately nodded, “I understand, I’ll be there soon.”

He quickly cut off the contact with Tirian, condensed slightly, and turned his head. ——Out

the window of the cemetery caretaker’s cabin, fine snow was falling silently. The sun set in the west, and the hazy snow scene enveloped the whole world in silence.

The stove in the keeper’s cabin was crackling, the samovar hissed sharply and crescendoing, the water was just boiling and steam was rising.

Duncan stood up, closed the furnace damper, and took off the black hat hanging at the door. He put on the hat, adjusted his long black windbreaker, and walked out of the cabin.

Two young guards in black who were cleaning the roads and checking the street lights in the cemetery heard the movement and turned their eyes in unison – they saw the intimidating silent guard who was always dressed in black and wrapped in bandages. Walking out of the hut, he immediately stood up straight and saluted.

Duncan waved to them in response, then snapped his fingers, and a giant skeletal bird covered in ghostly flames crossed a long distance and landed directly on his shoulder.

“Full of fuel, let’s go!” Ai flapped his wings and made a harsh and unpleasant cry in the form of a skeleton. Then it suddenly turned into a fiercely rising ring of fire. The ring of fire wrapped around Duncan’s figure, and the two merged into one. In one piece, they flew into the sky in an instant and moved towards the port area… In

the eastern part of the frost, a huge golden light still enveloped the entire port. This light seemed to have some kind of crystal-like texture, quietly infiltrating the coverage area. Everything inside is bright but not dazzling, gentle but disturbing.

Aiden, who was tall and had a bright forehead, looked at the golden light around him a little nervously.

He has taken off the old outfit he wore when he was a pirate, and now wears a new uniform that represents the contemporary Frost Navy. In front of his subordinates, he will try to maintain his majestic and reliable appearance, but in front of Tirian, he He didn’t hide his uneasiness.

“Are these ‘lights’ really harmless?” the bald man muttered. “Looking at them, I feel as if I am being ‘immersed’ in something. I feel that they will seep into my skin, or even Even breathing seems to put something into your lungs…”

Tirian turned his head and glanced at Aiden.

“First, there are at least seven holes in your lungs now – how much do you normally pour into those holes?” He said casually, “Second, the harmlessness of these ‘lights’ has been confirmed. In Breeze Port, Lucretia has been studying this thing for a long time.” “

…But the thing that fell here is different from the one in Breeze Port,” Aiden couldn’t help but muttered , “Their ‘core’ is just a stone ball…”

The undead commander who was deeply trusted by Tirian shook his head, and his shiny head reflected a dazzling golden light in Tirian’s field of vision. .

Tirian calmly moved a small step to the side, opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but suddenly felt a breath approaching, and immediately closed his mouth and turned around.

Almost at the same time, a low and slightly hoarse voice came to his and Aiden’s ears: “You mean, the core of the falling object here is not a ‘stone ball’?”

A green flame rose silently, and Duncan The figure walked out of the flames. He passed over the frightened guard soldiers and government affairs personnel around him, and walked straight towards Tirian and Aiden.

Aiden was taken aback, but he reacted instantly and hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed his head and saluted: “Old Captain…”

A dazzling golden light swept across Duncan’s field of vision, and he calmly took half a step to the side. Avoid Aiden’s shiny head.

“Father,” Tirian also reacted and hurriedly came forward to say hello, “I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon.” “I’m

curious about the ‘special circumstances’ you mentioned,” Duncan waved his hand and walked forward. He said, “Don’t waste time, talk as you walk – what is going on?”

Tirian quickly stepped to follow, and said quickly as he walked: “It’s hard to describe to you, it’s something we’ve never seen before. … something that even the most knowledgeable scholars in the city-state are unable to figure out. It is indeed a sphere, but its surface is illusory and it is always flowing, like some kind of living thing, and it also makes a slight whistling sound… Wait until you see it with your own eyes You know it.”

Listening to Tirian’s description, Duncan just nodded slightly and quickened his pace.

They walked all the way through the pale golden light that spread throughout the port area, passed through the docks and connecting bridges, and came to the coastline – the road was very quiet. People in the entire area had been dispersed urgently, and a long blockade blocked the entire dock area. It is isolated from the city, and the central area of the luminous body is right on the coastline of the port.

If you look down from the air at this moment, the irregular luminous geometry covers almost one-third of the entire city-state, as if a luminous structure “grew” out of thin air on the edge of the frost island and illuminated the nearby area at dusk. large areas of sea.

Under the leadership of Tirian and Aiden, Duncan finally arrived at the center of the luminous geometry and saw the “core structure” that confused the frost scholars and even made them nervous and frightened.

It floats at the end of the beach, and there is calm water more than ten meters away – the ball with a diameter of about ten meters is suspended there quietly, with simple scaffolding built on its edge, and some staff are busy nearby.

“Look, that’s it…” Tirian raised his hand and pointed at the huge, unsettling ball that moved like a living thing, with flowing colors on its surface. “This thing doesn’t look like a stone.” “

… Of course it’s not a stone…”

Duncan raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly. After a brief surprise, a natural but subtle and inexplicable emotion came to his mind. He looked at the “core”, moved his lips a few times, and then He answered Tirian’s question softly.

“This is a gaseous planet.”

Tirian was stunned for a moment, and repeated the unfamiliar word with some confusion: “Gaseous planet? What does that mean?”

Duncan did not speak, he just observed it for a moment and then slowly He took two steps forward until he came under the floating “gas planet” and quietly looked up to observe its surface structure.

Gorgeous cloud bands with a slight metallic luster flow slowly on its surface, outlining a circle of “cloud flow” surrounding the entire star. There are also small whirlpools and storms rotating among those cloud bands, slowly and magnificently. .

When he got closer, he heard the “whooshing” that Tirian had mentioned before, very subtle, as if it was far away in time.

That was the sound coming from the interior of the star – a long, long time ago, in the years before the annihilation of all things, the roar might have been deafening, and even had the power to tear a small celestial body apart. At that time, this The planet also has a huge and shocking scale, enough to fit thousands of endless seas into its clouds and mist.

However, now, this “star” with a diameter of ten meters can only make a sound that is so subtle that it is difficult to distinguish… just like a whimper.
