[Chapter 762: Captain Kalani’s Diary]
Chapter 762 Captain Kalani’s Log
As soon as Duncan spoke, the “sailor” immediately knew what the captain wanted to do. After all, since he was “awakened” by Lawrence on the White Oak, this was the biggest nightmare in his life. The incident: He was set on fire by Captain Duncan…
Of course, this nightmare has come true now – he was destroyed by a big fireball from the messenger named “Ai”.
Precisely for this reason, after personally experiencing the horror of being surrounded by the spirit flames, as if the soul could be evaporated at any time, the mummy seemed particularly nervous at the moment: “…Will this directly burn the shroud clean? ”
Theoretically not,” Duncan said with confidence. “I can control my own flames precisely and use it to understand the ‘reality’ beneath the surface of various extraordinary objects. I have also used this method to check in the past.” , I have explored many things, and this process is very safe…”
As soon as he finished speaking, before the sailor could take a breath, Shirley next to him suddenly muttered: “Who said that, before during the frost? The black book you got from the Annihilation Cult was burned after you took one look at it…”
Nina then added: “There is also an earlier one, which I got from the Sun Cult when I was in Pland. The golden mask was also burned…”
“Silantis was also burned…” Lucretia whispered, “This one is closer.”
Duncan’s expression began to stiffen visibly, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little subtle. But Alice, who was feeding the pigeons next to her, suddenly reacted. When she saw this scene, she immediately raised her hand to help the captain: “My wooden box was not burned!” After saying this, she
thought about it again and added seriously. Said: “Although after being ‘seen’ by the captain, he became part of the Lost Home…” “…
You don’t have to say the last sentence,” Duncan tried his best to control his expression with a sullen face, and spoke through his teeth. He squeezed out a few words to Alice, and then turned his attention to the “sailor” again, with a calm face, “…in short, it’s safe.”
The sailor looked at the majestic captain in front of him, and then looked at it again Looking at the group of followers around the captain and the two expressionless popes next to him, he held it in for a long time and finally nodded to Duncan: “I believe it.” Duncan breathed out
softly, stepped forward and patted the mummy on the shoulder. With seriousness and sincerity in his voice: “Don’t worry – it may be the only thing left of the Sea Song, I will be cautious.”
After hearing this, the sailor nodded blankly, and Duncan turned around and came to the dwarf with a serious expression. Beside the table, the shroud was solemnly placed on the table.
Helena and Frame’s eyes followed Duncan’s movements involuntarily. After hesitating for a long time, Frame couldn’t help but speak: “This is the only piece of information sent back from outside the border in history. “If it shows any signs of damage, I hope you can stop it in time.”
“I understand.” Duncan nodded very solemnly, and at the same time, under the gaze of many eyes, he slowly put his hand on it. over a shroud.
“…Let me talk to you.” He said softly, as if talking to himself.
A bit of illusory flame like running water ignited from his fingertips, and then fell silently – the spiritual fire was like water, penetrating into the dirty and broken shroud in the blink of an eye, and slowly spreading through every ravine and fold of it. Diffuse, wander.
Duncan gently closed his eyes and carefully controlled the flames that penetrated the shroud, feeling every bit of information conveyed to him by the flames, trying to establish communication with some empty, distant and broken existence – he had already I’ve done this many times, so I’m familiar with it.
Vast chaos appeared in his perception. At first, there was nothing in the depths of this chaos.
But suddenly, as if a period of time that had disappeared suddenly appeared in the long river of time, he “saw” a glimmer of light emerging from the depths of the chaos.
Duncan’s heart moved, and he immediately moved closer to the glimmer of light – and before he could reach the glimmer of light, a vague and weak voice had already reached his ears: “I am
Kalani, the captain of the Sea Song, and this is The record I left on the way back…
“We found ‘him’ – about half a century after crossing the six-nautical-mile critical line…”
Duncan suddenly “opened” his eyes wide. In his “field of vision”, The glimmer of light standing in the chaotic mist suddenly showed a hazy outline. It was vaguely a lady wearing a navy uniform of the Church of the Deep Sea, with a tall figure and a vague face.
She stood quietly in the fog, talking to herself, as if she didn’t “see” Duncan at all.
“…Time outside the border…is discontinuous. I realized this only after many years of wandering. The six-nautical-mile critical line is not only a physical ‘border’, it is also the boundary of our world. The scope of order…
“We were separated from the normal timeline in the fog. In the abnormal time flow, I saw many bizarre phantoms, and in the thickest part of the fog, I saw the edges of the world gradually collapsing and falling off… …
“…Here, we see the figures of explorers who were lost on the border in the past. They have completely lost their entity and self, and are wandering blankly in the broken and disordered flow of time, rising and dispersing like fog, Song of the Sea The ship passed by some of these phantoms. In the process, I realized that we were becoming just like them…
“My crew gradually lost themselves. During the almost half-century of wandering, almost everyone on the ship Everyone has turned into a walking zombie – this is something I only recalled later, and at that time my condition was not much better than that of the crew…
“…Only the first mate has been sticking to his post… I don’t know How long did he hold on…
“Then, we heard the call of the waves again in a sudden physical sea area, and that call ‘drawn’ the Sea Song to an archipelago – I suddenly woke up at that time, surprised by Such a large-scale entity unexpectedly appeared outside the border, and then I realized that the “archipelago” was actually the place where our Lord slept.
“He is there – the Lord of Storms, the Will of the Deep, the Goddess Gmorna… …
“The words I recorded may shock the world, but they are indeed what I saw with my own eyes –
“The kingdom of God is indeed not located at the “high place” in the concept of dimensions, nor is it located in the “cornerstone” of the world. The kingdom of God is not No, the gods have always been around us…around the world, beyond the fog of the border, they are here, surrounding the entire world.
“They…and their descendants are the “external barrier” “Part of it.”
Kalani’s phantom stopped, and there seemed to be a memory gap here. Duncan came to the captain’s phantom and looked into the unfocused eyes.
“The gods surround the world and are part of the outer barrier?” He suddenly asked, “What about outside the barrier? What is beyond it? Have you seen it?”
The phantom did not respond, she was just a simple illusion. ——After standing in silence for a moment, she spoke to herself, still reciting Captain Kalani’s diary:
“…many of us stayed there.
“The Storm Goddess sleeps on that ancient archipelago. In the center…those “islands” are actually the corpses of Leviathan. They surround the sea and surround Him… On the largest island stands a temple, which is shaped like a layered obelisk, consisting of There are countless dark green or pitch black boulders, and there are some mysterious and twisted symbols on the stones. They seem to be words, but I can’t identify them…
“I can’t describe the… existence sleeping in the center of the temple. I can’t describe our god. He is completely different from the goddess I know. I… saw his body. In an instant, I felt my own My mind seemed to have been torn apart and reassembled thousands of times, but a gentle voice woke me and my crew members up again… That voice turned us into a part of “him”, which prevented us from falling apart or melting. As a monster in the fog…
“Then, He apologized to us.
“He said He had lost control of Himself – He said He was dead, but He was still trying to delay the death process, and now He needed us to complete a task. “He asked me to mark a route, a route from the boundless sea to the
outer barrier – in the mist between the six-mile boundary and the outer barrier, only the correct route can lead the voyagers to find ” They’…
“For this reason, someone must return.”
Captain Kalani’s phantom slowly lowered his head and continued softly.
“Most of the people were tired, and they chose to find eternal peace in the harbor of the Lord… I don’t blame them, because this is one of the qualities of ‘human nature.’
“In the end, it was just me and my first mate Embarking on the way back – the Sea Song had been swallowed by the archipelago, but the goddess reconstructed the phantom before it was swallowed up from the mist. The first mate and I boarded the phantom and followed the direction guided by her. On the way home…
“Now, we are almost home.
” “I can feel myself gradually dissipating, and the same is true for the Sea Song… Both me and this ship are illusions created by the goddess in the mist, and The real world does not allow such illusions to exist for a long time… This feeling of dissipation is a sign of coming home.
“But the first mate is different from me – he is not a phantom waking up from the fog, he is always awake, starting from the beginning He has been awake from that day to this day. He still exists in this world and has been faithfully fulfilling his orders.
“So, the route is left to him… He will find his way home and return to the islands.” The road… no matter how long it takes.
“I am Kalani, the captain of the Sea Song. I entrust the Sea Song to my loyal first mate. This is the last log I leave as captain…
” You bear witness.”
In the boundless thick fog of chaos, the shimmering figure regained its appearance of standing silently.
Then the fog cleared and Duncan opened his eyes – he was still in the living room.
