Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 183

[Chapter 183 A Peaceful Tomorrow Will Still Come]

The noise in my mind fluctuates, as if a huge source of interference is approaching and moving away from my brain. The antique shop in my field of vision remains stable as a whole, but from time to time, Shadowy things would flicker between those shelves, as if to reveal sinister truths from the Warp to the unwary visitor.

Morris sat cautiously in front of the counter, concentrating on his thoughts and emotions, and in the short-lived rationality bestowed upon him by the God of Wisdom Rahmu, he thought about each problem with limited effort.

This conversation is still going on, and before the opposite “Mr. Duncan” can enjoy himself, his “talking partner” must continue to accompany him.

However, Duncan didn’t speak at the moment—he was also lost in thought, thinking about things related to the black sun and the history of pollution.

This dead silence but filled with high-pitched noise lasted for an unknown amount of time before Morris suddenly heard a deep voice from the opposite side: “The last question, if something is really polluting history, how to solve this problem?”

“Is there really someone… contaminating history?” Morris raised his head dully, and looked at Duncan in confusion, “Who are you talking about?” “It doesn’t matter who it is,”

Duncan said flatly, “it could be the subspace, it could be the black space.” The sun, it may be other heretical gods, in short, if something is trying to pollute history, how to solve it? How do the fire spreaders deal with this crisis?” Morris was stunned for a moment, shaking his head hesitantly:

” This… Sorry, I can’t answer you, this is beyond my knowledge, and even the fire bearers, I am afraid that only the most powerful saints or the chosen ones know the secrets in the operation of history ——Most of the fire spreaders are actually the same as the guardians of the Church of Storms, and what they usually do is to eradicate heresy and purify pollution. After all, real historical pollution is almost impossible…”

“…That’s right, my question is too in-depth, and it is difficult for you to answer these questions,” Duncan sighed softly. He realized that his curiosity was too strong, and he might have caused a lot of trouble to the old man in front of him. Due to the psychological pressure, he simply ended the current topic, “Then let’s stop here today.”

An unprecedented sense of relaxation suddenly came to mind, and Morris immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

His mind has been groggy since just now, his thinking is intermittent, and many questions appear in his mind, but he can’t organize them. At this time, Duncan is willing to take the initiative to end the topic, which is what he really wished for.

But Duncan raised his head and glanced at the sky outside through the glass window not far away.

In terms of time, it is still a while before sunset, but the gloomy sky has completely darkened the outside, the gas street lamps are turned on ahead of time, and the bright yellow light illuminates the street outside. Rand’s lower city seemed to be thrown into the night in advance.

“The weather is very bad,” Duncan looked away, and looked at the old man opposite, “Do you want to stay? Nina should have already cooked the meal.” Morris’s heart was pounding suddenly, and suddenly he remembered the

truth A popular phrase in the academy is used to describe those who pursue the craziest and most legendary seekers of knowledge—

swimming in the subspace, bragging in front of the evil gods, the battle of the gods is on the scene, and the family members are cooking and eating soup .

If this antique shop already occupied by “Mr. Duncan” is regarded as a subspace, if Mr. Duncan’s personality is equal to that of a god, if there is really a struggle between the shadow of the subspace and the God of Wisdom, then he is already dead now. Three of the four miracles have been achieved…

At this time, going upstairs to drink a bowl of soup may not really mean being promoted to a legend on the spot!

Morris was surprised that he still had the energy to think about these messy things at this time, and at the same time carefully organized his words: “Actually…”

“Actually, you want to leave, right?” Duncan nodded before the old man finished speaking. He was still a little self-aware at this time, “Although I want to say that the weather is not good, staying here to drink a bowl of hot soup may be harmful to your health.” It is more beneficial, but it seems that compared with the comfort brought by a bowl of hot soup, you are under more pressure sitting in front of me at the moment?”

Morris quickly got up and nodded: “Frankly speaking, every minute and every second is suffering ——Of course, I don’t mean to offend, it’s just…”

“Needless to say, I understand,” Duncan waved his hand, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face, “If we change to a more relaxed way of meeting, I’m actually very nervous.” I want to have a good chat with you about history and the gods, I am very interested in knowledge-the kind of ‘interest’ without malice, but this time it seems that it will not work.” Morris stood by the counter

, After hearing what the other person said, he fell silent, and after a while, he met Duncan’s gaze: “To be honest, I was in a trance several times just now, and I almost forgot the ‘truth’ I saw. …Curiosity and friendliness are so real, talking to me like a friend, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone as friendly as you…” The

old man was a little stuck, as if he couldn’t find a compliment for a while Seeing this, Duncan laughed: “If you can’t find a good word, don’t look for it. Just don’t ask someone to report me after you leave.” “

No, no, no! I will never do that!” Morris said After hearing this, he waved his hands again and again, as if he was afraid that Duncan might misunderstand something, “Anyway, you did save Heidi’s life, and you have always had a friendly attitude. I have no reason to report it—let alone…” The old man

hesitated After a while, he smiled wryly and spread his hands: “Looking at your appearance, you are not afraid of ‘reporting’ at all…” “It

will make me feel troublesome,” Duncan said casually, “but it may not be a big trouble.”

Then he After a slight pause, he looked up at the direction of the second floor, and looked at Morris again: “If the weather improves tomorrow, Nina will go to school as usual.”

“Nina…” Morris blinked. He remembered the arc of flames he saw, and also remembered what he had just talked about with Duncan, especially the part about the black sun. He had already vaguely guessed something in his heart from the attitude Duncan showed just now, “Nina… is she…worshiped by those sun heretics…”

He didn’t ask further, because Duncan shook his head lightly.

“Nina is just Nina, you don’t have to wonder about the secrets behind her,” Duncan said softly, “Just treat her as usual, so nothing will happen.” “…

I see,” Morris said slightly. For some reason, after hearing Duncan’s words, he was more relieved than before, and then he took two steps back slightly, “Then I should take my leave, please say goodbye to Nina for me—I am now It’s not suitable to ‘look’ at her again.”

Duncan hummed, walked out from behind the counter, and sent the old gentleman to the gate.

There were almost no pedestrians to be seen on the street, only rows of street lamps illuminated the overcast urban area, the cold wind swirled between the buildings, and the humidity mixed in it became more and more dense.

Morris tightened his coat tightly, and pressed down the short top hat on his head, but before walking to his car, he still couldn’t help but stop, and looked back at Duncan who was still standing at the door of the store .

What he saw was a middle-aged man with a peaceful smile. The street scene in the distance shook occasionally, but it was no longer as terrifying and abnormal as it was at the beginning.

“Mr. Duncan,” Morris said suddenly, “you actually like this place very much, don’t you?” “

Yes, I quite like this place,” Duncan laughed, and waved his hand to the old man, “so go home with peace of mind Well, Prand will welcome tomorrow safely—and every day after that.”

Morris took off his hat, waved to Duncan, and turned to walk to his car parked on the side of the road.

Duncan didn’t look away until the car started up and disappeared at the end of the street.

But he didn’t go back to the house directly, but stood at the door thinking.

The first question he thought about was whether the old man would report himself after he went back… The

conclusion is that the possibility is extremely small – if he is just an ordinary cultist, or even a slightly advanced sun priest , then Morris, who is a righteous believer, has a 100% chance of turning back and reporting, but today, it seems that his image in the eyes of the other party may not be the appearance of an ancient god, and the old man’s chance of reporting is almost zero.

The reason is simple—report a few heretics, and if you report a few cultists, two sheriffs will take care of it, and if you report a heretic priest, a few guards can kill them on the spot, but what if this place is occupied by a subspace evil god? What level do you have to report this to?

Not to mention the community church, even reporting to the bishop of the city-state is useless… It is more

reliable to report to the church than to report to the God of Wisdom who you believe in.

And even without considering these things, Morris really reported to the church, and Duncan didn’t really care much.

After all, even Fanna, the most powerful judge in the Church of Storms, actually has something to eat in his eyes…

Duncan is more concerned about Nina’s state than this trivial issue.

The arc-shaped flames that are spewing and burning… This is the “truth” that Morris saw on Nina with the eyes of truth bestowed on him by the God of Wisdom.

“Shards of the sun…” Duncan raised his head, looked at the dark sky outside, and muttered to himself softly, “What the hell is the sun in this world…”
