Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 833

[Chapter 814 Bonfire]

When Duncan woke up, the overflowing starlight began to shrink quickly, and the desert, which was almost soaked in starlight, quickly returned to its original state, and Tarijin also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the “Eternal Burning Fire” turned his head and glanced at Fanna who was not far away.

When the starlight filled the air, Vanna was hardly affected – in fact, she didn’t even seem to notice the spreading starlight. She was just thinking about something like Duncan, and it was only then that she raised her head belatedly. Looking around.

A little lavender starlight filled the edges of her long silver-white hair, as if those stars had existed a long time ago, and only now appeared under some kind of “irradiation”.

“You have gradually been transformed by the power of the Fire Usurper and have begun to become an extension of his power.” Tarijin broke the silence and nodded slightly to Vana, “This confirms my judgment – the nature of the Fire Usurper.” It’s not the flames, but something hidden under the flames. “

Fanna finally began to understand what was being discussed between the captain and the “ancient god” in front of her. Her expression changed several times. His expression was thoughtful.

“So strictly speaking, you have never stepped into this world, Fire Usurper,” Tarijin once again set his sights on Duncan, “You have been observing everything in the boundless sea through a layer of curtain, only occasionally. Only when the time comes, can I use my own eyes to detect its flashing “real side”, and the “end of the flame” you mentioned – I can think of what it is – is because of this

“The ‘takeover’ of Pilot One is based on the fact that you must continue the shelter, and continuing the shelter means that you have to maintain your ‘knowledge’ of the current status of the shelter

.

To maintain awareness of the current state of the asylum…you would have to be ‘Duncan’. “

Tarejin said this brief pause, which seemed to give Duncan time to think, and then continued in a low voice: “Because the gaze of the Fire Usurper will destroy this world – its appearance depends on your observation. in conclusion.

“And this is also true conversely. When you want to perform the ‘first step’, you must be a usurper of fire – because “Captain Duncan’s gaze will cause the sanctuary to continue in the flame, thus ushering in the “flame’s end”. The ending has nothing to do with your subjective wishes, and may be the only thing in this world that you cannot control. “

The gaze of the Fire Usurper will destroy this world…

Duncan said nothing. He was thinking about what Tarijn said, thinking about Pilot One’s plan and his own plan, thinking… .In

the eyes of “Duncan” and “Zhou Ming”, the world looks different.

“I understand,” after a long time, Duncan – he still needs to be “Duncan” – finally exhaled softly. After speaking, he raised his head and met Tarijin’s eyes, “Thank you for reminding me, this is indeed crucial. “

“That’s good. “A smile appeared on Tarijin’s face, and then the old and rickety giant stretched out his hands to support his body and the ground next to him. He gradually exerted his strength and slowly stood up from the yellow sand in a difficult but determined posture.

The sand fell from his body, like the passing years gone by the wind. He stood in the desert under the night, looked up into the distance, and

after a while, he sighed softly: “Almost nothing. What’s left…

“What was this originally like?” Fanna couldn’t help but ask after hearing the other party’s sigh.

“Originally, it wasn’t a lush place, because from the beginning, the ‘history’ in the sanctuary was just an phantom built in the long river of time. It was my sculpture, and the fire bearers continued to perform rituals The record inheritance and repair made the outside real world seem to have been “developing and continuing normally along time”, but this… this has never flourished.

“But at least, it was not a desert at that time – the endless dry land was dotted with extremely rare rivers and oases, because even in the hallucinatory time flow, what really happened was reflected , something truly worth recording.

“At that time, there were even cities on this land, and intelligent people lived beside the oases. Those were reflections of the real world, reflected in this dreamland carved by me. In their memories…the world was once prosperous and has always been prosperous. “

The old giant bent down, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, and watched it gradually fall between the fingers of the wind, passing by in the cold night wind.

“Then, I ushered in ‘rot, more and more things .

Disappearing into the real world, the history of the shelter is also riddled with holes. Every self-adjustment of the shelter means that more and more “gangrene” appears in the time flow, and the dry land is gradually covered with yellow sand. Covered, the memories and sounds of the past echoed in the ruins, and finally turned into what you see in front of you. “

Fanna couldn’t help but think of that city, the sounds she heard and the relics she saw while trekking in this endless sea of sand.

And then, she suddenly thought of something else: She I thought of some of the deviant “theories” and “academic conjectures” I had seen in the cathedral’s archives when I was still in Prand – the oneness and two sides of the world.

Some scholars believe that the entire world is one. Both sides – in a certain dimension, there is a “dry land” that is a complete mirror image of the sea and land. It is an endless dry land, and extremely rare rivers and oases are dotted in the drought. The dry land even There are intelligent civilizations, and they are reflections of everything in reality…

Fanna opened her eyes wide, and she couldn’t help but look into the distance, looking at the boundless sea of sand, imagining the things dotted in the sand. The ruins of city-states in the sea, large and small…

This is the place that those scholars guessed was a reflection of the world.

It turns out that it really exists – it exists at the end of the world, and it exists in a place that is gradually becoming a place.

In the memory of the decaying ancient god’s world that was constantly weathering and disintegrating,

Fan suddenly raised her head, as if she wanted to say something to Tarijin, but just when she was about to speak, a strong wind suddenly swept across the yellow sand.

The wind and sand were like a curtain rising from the sky and the earth, closing around her and the captain, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye – the wind stopped, and the hunched giant standing in the desert had disappeared from her eyes as

the chaotic sky light penetrated the clouds .

With thick fog, shining on this ash-covered island, a breeze blew from nowhere, and a layer of fine and pale ash danced with the wind, floating around like a veil.

Vanna woke up in a daze and looked up .

In the distance, there was only endless ashes in front of her, and sparse smoke columns rose from the distance, rising crookedly into the sky.

Not far away from her, there was a pile of fire that seemed to be extinguished

. There – skinny, rickety, and almost a pile of exhausted bones, he was the spring fire itself, and his flesh, blood and bones were the firewood of the spring fire. The small and weak flames came from his charred bones and remaining remains. The flesh and blood ignited, shaking gently in the breeze.

The giant lowered his head and sat motionless. There seemed to be something piled up beside him, but now there were only some undulating, shapeless ashes. He was still holding a black stone that looked like a chisel in his hand – it seemed that he was still carving something carefully until he could no longer move.

Vanna slowly came to the pile of flames that were about to go out, and lifted them up. Starting to look at the giant’s face for a long time and silently

, she seemed to hear the familiar voice again –

ding… ding ding…

Duncan came over from the side and put his hand lightly. He pressed lightly on Vanna’s shoulder.

“We should go,” he whispered, “before the fire here is completely extinguished. “

Fanna nodded slightly.

Duncan took another step forward and stretched out his finger towards the remaining flames on Tarijn’s body.

Silently, the cluster of flames was quietly dyed with a layer of faint green, and then the fire light jumped, and magnificent stars appeared in the fire light, flickering slowly as if breathing.

In the vague perception established by the flames, he whispered in his heart: “See you in the new world.”

…

In the eternal night, a huge fleet was sailing towards the north.

The night wind blows through the calm sea, bringing a coldness unique to the cold northern sea that seems to gradually freeze the heart and lungs. The pale and cold light of the world shines on the whole world. Those floating on the dark, mirror-like sea Ice floes, large and small, reflected the glory of the creation of the world. Under the night, they were like hideous and pale ghosts, moving slowly but really quickly outside the ship’s side.

Even the huge and sacred bonfire could not dispel the coldness that shrouded the entire sea – Frame stood next to the fire in the center of the church ark. At that moment, he even felt that the blazing flame in front of him seemed to have suddenly disappeared. When the temperature was lowered, what hit his face was no longer the heat of the fire, but an endless emptiness and sharp and biting cold.

The sound of footsteps came from the side, awakening the Firebringer Pope who was meditating with his eyes closed. Frame looked towards the direction of the sound and saw a priestess wearing a black fire-patterned dress and a veil walking towards Himself, Jing bowed his head and paid tribute to himself by the fire.

“His Majesty, we have crossed the sea around the frost and have just received a signal from the Deep Sea Church ship. They will meet us in half an hour to deliver the goods.” “

~Hmm,” Frame responded, “…Is the archives ready?”

“It’s ready for storage,” the tall Sen’in priestess replied, ” Each storage area has been readjusted, leaving space for newly added documents.”

Frame nodded silently.

“In addition, the Frost City State just sent a message,” the priestess said again, “The Tirian Archon sent us greetings, the original text is as follows –

“With all the best wishes in the world, I pay tribute to the record and inheritor, please move forward with peace of mind, All survival actions have meaning, and another: “They’ve passed the point of fire and are heading to the last stop.”
