Chapter 751: The Future of Fire

When the world is on the verge of ending, cause and effect will gradually fall into chaos. It is not that the last preacher of the end who remains awake comes to Duncan, but in Duncan’s vision, a final preacher who remains awake “appears” The sober preacher of the end.

But for the two parties involved, it doesn’t seem to matter who is the cause and who is the effect of these two things.

“What’s your name?” Duncan looked at the old man in white robes in front of him, suddenly curious.

Faced with such a simple question, the traveler in a worn white robe frowned deeply. He thought for a while before gently shaking his head: “I can’t remember exactly. The last time I used ” “The name” seems to have happened a long time ago… But if you want, you can call me Crete.”

“Crete?” Duncan frowned, “This is the name of your tribe.” ”

…Oh, yes, No wonder it’s so familiar.” The old man looked astonished, and a smile appeared on his face, “That’s good, just call me that, I like this name.”

Duncan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: “Okay. Crete. I have some questions now.”

“Excuse me, I have a lot of time this time.” ”

First question, why did you choose to meet me at this time?” Duncan looked into the other person’s eyes and spoke in a very serious tone. “What is the purpose of this ‘window period’?”

“…We have actually been looking for opportunities to have direct contact with you – here I mean those ‘us’ who still retain their sanity,” Crete answered this question There was a slight moment of unnoticeable hesitation, but he quickly gave the answer, “It’s just that it’s very difficult to contact you – in fact, we tried it once before today, but… we missed it. Missed that window.”

“…Missed the window?” Duncan looked confused, “What does that mean?”

“We are early, Mr. Captain.” Crete said calmly.

Duncan was stunned for a moment, and after a very brief thought, he suddenly understood the meaning of the other party’s words: “You mean, the three who appeared on the Homeless Ship…” ”

Yes, we came early. “It’s gone,” Crete nodded slightly and repeated these words again, “When we found out that it was not 1900, the window period had ended… and that was the biggest time we had encountered since we set off.” “Linear Out of Control Incident”, from that day on, many things began to lose control, but in terms of results…it seemed that everything did not deviate from the established track. Duncan Abnomar still embarked on his last voyage – in After knowing his ending in advance.”

Because of these few words, a storm of thoughts had already filled Duncan’s mind!

The Evangelist (or the Terminus Survey Team) knows the truth about him as the “Fire Usurper” and that he is an alien soul that has taken over the body of Duncan Abnomar – this part of the matter is something he has already noticed. But another part of the truth was completely beyond his expectation –

in the memories of Tirian and Lucretia, those “uninvited guests” who suddenly appeared on the Homeless Ship, those who had been with Duncan Abnor The final preachers that Mal had been talking to all night…they were actually coming to find him! ?

Duncan quickly clarified the information in Crete’s words and gradually came to his senses: “In other words, you didn’t originally intend to contact…’him’?” ”

Yes, we revealed him to a deceased person in advance. “The ending,” Crete nodded slowly, “I know what you want to say, but the fact is that the moment we appeared on this ship, he seemed to already know certain… things, as a A great explorer, he had already foreseen his fate. Our appearance only surprised him for a few seconds, and after that until the end of the window period, he just asked us some questions about how to navigate the border waters. Sailing thing.”

A slight trembling and creaking sound reached Duncan’s ears, and a low and uneasy sound echoed deep in the cabin of the Lost Home, but after a few seconds, these abnormal sounds Then it gradually calmed down again.

Crete raised his head and looked at the dark roof above. It wasn’t until the surroundings became quiet again that he turned his gaze back to Duncan.

“After missing that window period, the only chance we have left to contact you is today – or in other words, only when the stability of the sanctuary drops to the limit, we “anti-order” existences can may be safely within your sight. And it is precisely because the stability of the shelter has dropped to its limit that we have the opportunity to show you… something that will help you understand the fate of this world so far. Destiny.”

“Demonstrate something?” Duncan’s expression immediately became serious after hearing this sentence, “What does this mean? What do you want to demonstrate to me?” ”

…Before that, I want to first “You confirm a question,” Crete raised his head and stared at Duncan, “You have rejected our creator, haven’t you?” ”

Your creator…you mean Pilot One?” Duncan reacted and followed. Nodding, “Yes, he wanted me to take over his authority and take over the world, but I refused.” ”

…Really, that’s great.” After hearing Duncan’s answer, Crete said to himself Pan said.

Duncan was a little curious: “…What does this have to do with what you want to demonstrate to me?”

Crete did not answer directly, but stepped forward until he came to the door leading to the subspace. In front of the tightly closed door.

“Have you ever opened this door?”

“No,” Duncan walked over, his tone immediately wary, “This door leads to subspace, and opening it in reality is not a good idea.” ”

It doesn’t matter, you There’s no need to be nervous – I won’t open it, and I don’t have the ability to open it.” Crete noticed the change in Duncan’s tone, and a smile appeared on his face, “I’m just taking you to have a look.”

Duncan said while Paying attention to Crete’s actions, he spoke cautiously: “Take a look?”

“Everything will be reflected in the subspace… As long as it is the possibility of this shelter, the answer has already been imprinted in the endless sea of chaos, and We…”

Crete murmured softly, suddenly reaching out and patting the door frame twice.

“…We have always been good at fishing out the glimmers of light in the long river of time from the chaos.”

The next second, under Duncan’s somewhat surprised gaze, the door suddenly shattered like an illusion – light and shadow beyond the limits of human intelligence. It hit him like a storm, then reorganized around him in the blink of an eye.

He almost took action, but at the critical moment he controlled his impulse and stood calmly on the spot.

Because he didn’t feel any threat or hostility, and he could even clearly feel that the door was still standing intact – Crete’s aura was also nearby, without any change.

He looked around and found that he was standing on a dark high mountain. The chaotic and dark sky enveloped everything, and a dim light was hidden deep in the clouds. Under the high mountain was a vast wilderness, and on that boundless land , vaguely city-like ruins can be seen, as well as dried up and broken elevated water channels.

In addition, there is the cracked and dry earth. A certain kind of fine “ash” covers everything in sight, filling the ruins and canals, and is blown up by the wind in the valleys, like mist. Blowing away in the direction of the plain.

A biting chill filled the world, as if even the flying ashes were about to be frozen.

Duncan watched all this quietly, and after a long time he spoke softly: “What is this?”

“This is the age of fire, Mr. Captain.” Crete’s voice came from the side – he didn’t know when he had stood up. There, he was still wearing the shabby white robe, but the white robe seemed to be more torn.

After a moment of silence, Duncan asked again: “Is this a certain branch of history?”

“This is the only branch of history under the premise of the survival of the sanctuary.” Crete said.

Then the “Preacher of the End” paused, as if he was organizing his words, and then continued:

“In the beginning, you reshaped the earth, and all the grand plans on the blueprint that failed to be realized appeared in the world. A vast land that humans have never imagined rises from the sea, city-states are connected, and resources become abundant. Then, you calm the sea and breed more vitality in the sea. The sea water is purified and transformed among the mountains and rivers. Rain and snow fell on the earth.

“Then, the earth began to prosper. For a while, the prosperity of this new world even surpassed all the beautiful poems of the Deep Sea Age – powerful countries rose on the earth, day and night. The land develops and grows, new technologies are discovered, new poetry, literature, and imaginations about the future – steam trains cross mountains, forests and wilderness, huge pipelines connect factories and the steel jungle of cities… “Many

stories , many lives, heroes and heads of state, knights and philosophers, legendary adventurers, and ordinary people working hard to live in the city.

“Mr. Captain, believe me, if I didn’t show you this scene directly, but It shows you those glorious days, so even you will be a little shaken – even the strongest-willed governor and guardian in this world will be willing to exchange everything for that world, even if It was only brilliant…for a short time.”

Duncan said nothing. He stood on the top of the mountain, quietly overlooking the dry and broken land at his feet. After a long time, he broke the silence: “Is there anyone alive at this moment? ”

No more, the ashes have swallowed everything – have you seen the ruins of the city? The tallest church in the center of the city… The last refugee took his last breath there. Now there is only an empty soul.” Wandering in that church, she held a big sword in her hand, but that sword could not protect anyone at this moment.”

Duncan raised his head again and looked at the dim light in the sky: “What is that?”

“One. …The very, very small sun, when the world began to cool down, she tried to reheat the earth and sustained it for a long time.” “Where is

my flame?”

“It’s out, Mr. Captain,” Kerry Te said slowly, “After you have burned everything that can be burned in this world.”
