Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 786

[Chapter 768 Border Base]

Chapter 768: Border Base

The majestic fog that seemed to connect the sky and the sea appeared in Duncan’s vision again – but the difference from last time was that this time he arrived at the border in the dark.

The dark and chaotic sky weighed low above the head, and the pale and cold creation of the world illuminated the clouds at the edge of the curtain. The entire wall of fog was like a black wall that was constantly expanding and contracting in the night – distant, towering, and invisible. The details are clear, but every time you glance at it casually, its wriggling and changing surface will reveal some weird shapes, casting a horrifying glimpse in the hearts of everyone who sees it, and arousing many associations that point to fear.

And the edge of the top of the wall of mist, illuminated by the creation of the world, is like countless eyes high in the sky, looking down at the world indifferently and maliciously, looking down at the overestimating mortals who are trying to challenge the end of the world. .

The fleet of mortals gathered at the foot of the curtain.

After observing the lighthouse in the distance, Duncan controlled the Lost Home to adjust its course. They sailed toward the southeast side of the curtain for a while, and then saw the lights gathered on the border – a large-scale motor port floating in the mist. In the diffuse sea, the large steam core on the port is spewing white clouds into the sky. The light on the top of the differential engine tower rotates, illuminating the shadows of large and small ships on the nearby sea from time to time.

More than a dozen ships of various models and sizes were docked around the floating port, and there were also small patrol ships wandering in the nearby waters. Their lights shone in the night, like fireflies patrolling the dark and boundless sea. .

At the end of the world, there is no need to implement light control, so these lights representing human civilization have become an incredible scenery in front of the eternal curtain – however, compared to the boundless sea, compared to the wall of fog that reaches the sky and the earth, These “landscapes” built by artificial lights are really insignificant. When viewed from a distance, the tiny firelight seems to be swallowed up into the undulating fog at any time.

The world is collapsing, and the tiny creatures in the shelter bravely stretch out their hands towards the collapsing high wall of the shelter – those lights patrolling the sea are the tentacles of civilization. Although they are not strong, they are here. .

The news of the approach of the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star was quickly reported by nearby patrol ships. A whistle representing the welcome came from the mobile port as a border base. The loud sound echoed in the night, and then there was a guide. Directional beams sweep from the harbor lighthouse to the sea, guiding the two ships to dock at the edge of the harbor.

After the ship stopped, Duncan took his crew members to the dock – many people had gathered here to greet him, and one of them surprised Duncan.

The female pope Helena suddenly stood among a group of priests who came to greet her.

She stepped out from the crowd, came to Duncan and Lucretia with a smile, and nodded slightly in greeting: “Welcome to this ‘border base’ – we have been waiting for you.” “Why are

you here? ?” Duncan looked at the female pope standing in front of him in surprise, “Shouldn’t you be staying in your own ark at this time – can that thing run so fast?” ”

If the situation really requires it, the church ark will sail at full speed. The speed will not be much slower than that of your ship,” Helena said with a smile, but quickly shook her head, “But I am indeed not here now. The Cathedral of Storms is still in Qingfeng Port at this moment. What comes here is just an incarnation of me – you want to go deep into the border in person, I should come here to see you off.”

Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at the man in front of him in surprise, who couldn’t see at all ” The lady who felt “fake” said: “…I really can’t tell.”

Helena laughed, raised her hand and reached out to Duncan – layers of thin mist rose up from the edge of her arm, and her skin began to change. It must be as transparent as water.

“It is my lord’s authority to create illusions in water and mist.” She retracted her hand and her body quickly returned to normal. Then she turned around and led the way and said casually, “This is not a great magical skill – a senior priest in the Deep Sea Church. Most of them can do this.”

Duncan followed Helena towards the depths of the border base. After hearing what the other party said, he thought for a moment and turned to look at Vanna who was walking behind him: “You can do this too. ?”

Fanna’s footsteps paused unnaturally for a moment, and then she lowered her head as she walked: “Um…actually…” ”

She can’t,” Helena, who was walking in front, waved her hand, “Back then, I I can’t even teach it in person.”

Vanna simply didn’t raise her head: “…”

Shirley, who was walking behind, saw this situation and immediately took two steps forward with her short legs and looked up at Vanna: “Hey, didn’t you say that your grades in magical arts are pretty good…”

Fanna was already extremely embarrassed at this time, but she noticed that the captain walking in front was turning his head to cast a curious look, so she had to bite the bullet and speak: “…There are many kinds of divine arts, including combat, treatment, auxiliary, and a lot of special branches such as research, secret contracts, miracles, etc. I am not all good at it. I was more scientific back then…” Shirley She reacted instantly after hearing

half of it: “Oh, then I know, you should be good at fighting…”

Before she finished speaking, she heard Helena, who was walking in front, say again without looking back: “She specializes in treatment.”

As soon as this answer came out, not only Shirley was startled, but almost everyone around him was stunned for a moment. Duncan couldn’t help but look at the beautiful girl beside him in surprise, and looked up and down several times. Over and over again, I didn’t dare to associate this powerful Vanna with a priestess who is good at healing…

Aren’t all the priestesses who are good at healing in normal settings the kind of people who wear cloth armor and get shorts? With low staff defense and low health, you can only walk behind the team and let people protect you. Are you the type who will die instantly if you accidentally scratch it? – A strong woman like Fanna who can lift the devil’s spirit cover with one hand… When did she become a nanny? Already?

However, he was confused about this question in his mind and didn’t feel embarrassed to ask it out loud – but just because he didn’t ask it didn’t mean that others didn’t ask it. There was always no shortage of heartless and outspoken characters on the Lost Home.

“Why?” Shirley stared, “No…why?”

She raised her hand and pointed at Vanna’s nearly two-meter tall figure. After holding it in for a long time, she still only said: “…why?” ?”

“Because I have to be responsible for setting the bones of other people on the training field after training,” Helena replied calmly, “It took me half a year to practice.” Shirley’s doubts disappeared immediately, and Duncan next to him

also had a subtle expression. He nodded: “…This is much more reasonable.”

Only Fanna, who was the center of the topic, still lowered her head: “…”

“But then again, you have been on the ship for so long, and I didn’t even know you were still alive. Expertise in this area,” Duncan glanced at Vanna and said thoughtfully, “I almost never see you healing anyone?”

Vanna sighed: “…Who do you think is on the Lost Home? Will you need treatment?”

Duncan was startled when he heard this, turned to look at the crew members following him, and then suddenly remembered that the number of people on the Lost Home was not high – it was difficult to get even one living person on board, let alone People are usually injured and can bleed. The whole ship insists that only Mr. Morris looks like a human being, but the old man can fight better than ordinary saints…

Vanna sighed again.

She tugged on the buckle on her shoulder that was used to secure the weapon, lifted the big sword up, and shook her head helplessly: “I think this is good – I prefer to heal the people around me. Get rid of all the enemies in advance so that no one needs to get hurt.”

Helena turned back and looked at Vanna, then looked past the other person and fell on Anomaly 077-Sailor walking at the back of the team.

She slowed down, hesitated for a moment and then said to the mummy: “Do you still remember this place?”

“Remember, but just remember,” the sailor didn’t seem surprised by Helena’s question. After arriving at the mobile port, he had been silently observing the surroundings. At this time, he just nodded calmly, “Among the memory fragments I recently recovered, there are some scenes that are very impressive, including this place… But no matter No matter how profound the memories are, they feel like other people’s lives to me… I’m watching them, and it’s hard for me to understand them, except for… the part related to Captain Kalani.” “…

So that’s it.”

Helena said softly, but she did not ask how much the sailors remembered about the past and how much impression they still had of this place – although for the personnel on duty at this port, the first mate of the Sea Song was not until recently. He is still with them, but for Anomaly 077, that is really a distant and unfamiliar life.

“Except for me and a few high-ranking priests, no one here knows what you look like now,” Helena said to the sailor. “You don’t have to worry about meeting ‘acquaintances’ – if you don’t want to meet them, just don’t meet them. .”

The sailor was a little surprised, but he quickly lowered his head and said sincerely: “Thank you.” “Has

this port always been active on the border?” Lucretia asked curiously at this time, “I have often done this before. Activities at the border, but I didn’t see it…”

“This mobile port has been deployed in the border waters since more than ten years ago,” Helena explained, “But most of the time, it is in the thick of the sea. In the Fog – In addition to being the home port of the border patrol and exploration fleet, this place itself is also a research facility. It is equipped with a large number of equipment and laboratories used to observe the spirit world and study the sea environment. Therefore, it is necessary to go deep into the fog to perform tasks from time to time, and in When there is no special mission, it will cruise along the entire eastern border. During this period, its route and stopping location are classified by the church. It is normal if you don’t encounter it.” “…It’s amazing.

” Lucretia said sincerely sighed.

“…Yes, it’s amazing. Many outstanding people gathered together to build this place,” Helena said softly, and then her eyes fell in a certain direction in the distance, “Hai Ge The bus departs from Pier 2, just ahead.”
