Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 714

[Chapter 696 An unprecedented situation]

When the bell rang, Vanna had just finished her evening prayers on the deck – she came to the corridor and was about to return to her room, but she saw Morris who also hurriedly came to the corridor.

Just by meeting him, she guessed something from the serious expression on Morris’s face.

“Have you also heard the call of the ‘Xun Bell’?”

“Yes, it seems you have heard it too,” Morris nodded. “The bell has tolled for the third time – I am preparing to hold a psychic event.” Resonance ceremony.”

“…but it’s still the Deep Sea Church’s rotation period.” Vanna opened her eyes slightly when she heard this, “How did you hear the bell?”

Morris breathed softly: “I I don’t know, so I need to go to the meeting to find out what happened… It seems that an unprecedented situation has occurred this time.”

Looking at the slightly solemn expression on the old scholar’s face, Fanna thought of a series of recent events Something disturbing, and then she nodded silently, and the two of them passed each other and returned to their rooms.

The gentle sound of the waves echoed in her ears, and the feeling of being submerged in the sea gradually enveloped her. Fanna, who hurriedly returned to the room and performed the ceremony, watched the candlestick burn and expand in front of her eyes, and the beating firelight turned into a hazy light and shadow, feeling a little restless. My mood gradually calmed down with the sound of waves.

After a brief dizziness and sensory reset, she opened her eyes again and found that she had arrived at the sacred and ancient “assembly ground” in the form of a soul projection – the majestic and solemn stone pillars stood at the end of the huge square, shadows of chaos and darkness. The never-ending stream of light shrouded the sky above the stone pillars, the ground was covered with mottled and damaged ancient stone slabs, and in this huge gathering place, everywhere was filled with the soul projections of the saints who hurriedly gathered here.

Fanna stood in a corner of the square in astonishment, staring at the countless figures in all directions – she had never seen so many soul projections appearing in the assembly hall at the same time. There was no doubt that they could not all be there. Saint of the Storm Goddess.

Mr. Morris is obviously not the only “believer of the strange god” who hears the bell ringing during the Deep Sea Church’s rotation period.

The saints from the four major churches have all gathered!

The number of people is still increasing, and more and more soul projections appear in the open space of the square. Many of them seem to have arrived in a hurry – although it is indeed the Deep Sea Church’s rotation period, every one who receives the “Xun Zhong” “The saints still implemented the iron rules jointly agreed upon by the Four Gods Church without hesitation, responded quickly after the bell rang, and came to the assembly venue.

The dazed and stunned soul projections gathered together, buzzing and discussing this unusual situation. Fanna’s figure walked among her compatriots, walking towards the center of the square while listening to the discussions of the people around her.

A hazy figure walked over from the side and greeted her: “Fanna! I’m looking for you – what is going on?”

Fanna followed the sound and immediately recognized that it was Valentine. She greeted the bishop’s soul projection, and then shook her head: “I don’t know, but it seems that all the qualified ‘saints’ in the four major churches have heard the summoning bell… Mr. Morris should be there too This is the gathering place.”

“…The bells of the Xun Bell are emitted by the Pilgrimage Ark, but their source comes from the ‘pointing’ of the Tomb of the Unknown King. All the saints have received the summons. The only explanation is that the Tomb of the Unknown King actively releases A strong signal to ‘call everyone’…” Bishop Valentine’s tone was solemn. He turned his head and stared at the center of the square, which was still empty. He took his eyes back for a long time, “This ancient contract ceremony has been running stably. This has never happened for thousands of years.”

“…Perhaps this is related to the recent ‘sun extinguishing’. Some kind of huge change is approaching…” Vanna whispered, and then she suddenly felt When he reached something, he raised his head and looked to the side.

Another hazy figure with a familiar aura appeared in her field of vision.

That was Morris’s soul projection.

Fanna immediately stepped towards the other party, and without waiting for her to get closer, she heard the other party speak actively: “It seems that the situation is just as I thought. I am not the only one who heard the bell.” “

Yes, look. It seems that all the saints have come… Maybe we should sigh, fortunately this place is spacious enough,” Vanna exhaled and said in a subtle tone, “Now the body of the ‘mausoleum’ has not appeared. After it appears… …I don’t know what kind of things will be announced to the outside world.”

Morris did not say anything, but nodded solemnly. He greeted Bishop Valentine, whom he had not seen for a long time, and then turned to look in the direction of the center of the square with Vanna. .

At this moment, four special figures appeared in the vision of many saints.

Helena, Rune, Banster, and Frame—the spokesmen of the four gods entered the assembly hall. Among the countless hazy and illusory soul projections, their clear figures were particularly eye-catching.

The appearance of the four popes caused a brief commotion at the scene, but the commotion soon subsided. The saints restored order and quickly calmed down due to the appearance of their respective leaders.

Today’s situation is unusual. Many saints who heard the extra bells were a little confused and uneasy. However, the appearance of the leaders was a reassuring signal, which at least showed that the current situation was still under the control of the church.

Then, Vanna noticed the four Popes walking directly towards her.

Her expression suddenly became a little subtle.

Amid the gazes and greetings of many people around, Helena, Lu En and four other people came to Fanna. Helena was the first to speak: “The tomb hasn’t appeared yet?”

Fanna was a little dazed for a moment: “Uh. …Not yet…”

“Okay,” Helena nodded, “Then we’ll wait a little longer.”

Vanna didn’t react, so she nodded in confusion: “…Well, okay.”

Then the four Popes really turned around and began to wait patiently with Vanna for the ancient and mysterious tomb to appear. .

Vanna felt that her mood was a little subtle. She felt that Mr. Morris next to her seemed to be looking at him with some doubts, but she didn’t know how to explain this matter. She could only smile awkwardly – and she didn’t know what happened at this moment. In this hazy soul projection form, could Morris see her somewhat complicated smile?

At this moment, another exceptionally tall figure came to Fanna at some point and casually patted the judge lady on the shoulder: “Do I need to wait for a long time?”

Fanna didn’t even look back. She naturally and casually replied: “Not sure, but usually the tomb will be released within a few minutes after all the saints arrive at the venue…”

She stopped suddenly.

The surroundings seemed to be a little quiet for a moment.

Banster and Frame’s expressions were a little stagnant, while Helena and Luen slowly turned their heads with stiff necks. Vanna turned sideways little by little and looked towards the direction where the sound came from –

Duncan was standing there. , looking at the few acquaintances in front of him with a harmless look (in his opinion).

After a moment of silence, Vanna finally broke the silence with an exclamation: “Captain?! Why are you here!?”

This exclamation was like a stone falling into the water, and the brief silence in the assembly hall instantly turned into a loud and spreading atmosphere. Boiling – there were exclamations and explosive discussions all around. Many soul projections retreated in astonishment, and the emotions of tension, alertness and consternation spread in the blink of an eye, permeating the crowd.

Unsurprisingly.

Duncan glanced back at the movement in the square, turned his head and spread his hands helplessly: “To be honest, I didn’t expect there to be so many people at first.”

Vanna felt that her brain was a little lacking, while the several popes present were Already reacting quickly, they immediately shouted in unison –

“Silence!”

Great power was released from their words – the will of Helena, Rune, Banster and Frame swept across the entire place. At the assembly hall, Duncan didn’t know what they had done, but he could feel that the “crowd” around him who had been in chaos a second ago seemed to understand and comprehend the current situation in an instant. Although there was still uneasiness flowing in the air, the assembly hall Order has been restored.

After the order was restored in the assembly hall, Helena was the first to turn her head and stare into Duncan’s eyes: “How did you get here?”

Duncan thought for a moment, raised his hand and gently touched the air next to him. A light wave.

A huge skeletal bird covered in green flames flashed past in the darkness.

“I came by pigeon.”

Helena: “…?”

“I heard the bells.” Duncan noticed the wonderful and subtle expressions on the faces of several popes. After thinking for a while, he added, “The specific reason Don’t ask me – I heard it when the bell rang. Then I noticed the gathering of spirits. Maybe it was because the four pilgrim arks happened to be in Qingfeng Harbor. This ‘gathering’ was very obvious to me , like lights in the night… I happened to be very interested in your ‘gathering’, so I gave it a try, mainly trying to track Vanna’s soul starlight, and ended up chasing her here.”

Helena was stunned: “…That’s okay?!”

Duncan thought seriously and nodded: “I think it’s okay.”

Helena: “…”

Vanna seemed to be used to this, and when Duncan said “I think it’s okay” After that, she accepted the current situation as a matter of course (mainly because sports students have strong adaptability to the environment), and said casually: “What do you think of today’s special situation?” “

I don’t know,” Duncan said very calmly. Said, “This is my first time here. What do you usually do after a gathering? Is there any process?” “

Waiting for Vision 004 – the Tomb of the Unknown King to appear,” Frame’s deep voice sounded from the side, he seemed to be forever They were all in a calm and steady state, even at this time, they were all serious, “Subsequently, a tombkeeper will appear, and the chosen one will be led to the tomb.”

Duncan listened with interest and clicked slowly. nodded.

And as if to confirm Frame’s words, at this moment, a low roar finally sounded from the center of the square, interrupting everyone’s communication!
