Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 797
[Chapter 779 The Palace at the End of the World]
Something is emerging from the uniform gray-white background, like a long tunnel reaching the end, and the scene at the exit suddenly comes into view.
Shirley climbed up to the mast with nimble hands and feet, looked into the distance with her eyes wide open in excitement, and shouted happily towards the deck: “There is something ahead! It’s not a phantom, it looks like something real!
” The scene that emerged at the end of the “route” gradually became clearer, and the surrounding even gray-white background began to melt quickly like morning mist under the sun. Duncan first distinguished the sparkling (water light) from the quickly clear scene. , is the mist floating on the water, and many shadows,
large and small, floating on the water, gradually becoming a clear island.
That is Captain Kalani on her. The mysterious “island” mentioned in the log!
Everyone on the Lost Home came to the deck, looking at the sea area that seemed to suddenly emerge from nothingness with inexplicable excitement and a faint nervousness. and the Islands, they saw the glowing sea quickly spread to the vicinity, spreading to the sides of the Lost Home. The sound of rushing water suddenly sounded, and then there was a shock and vibration throughout the ship. The Lost Home The ship sailed into this sea, and after experiencing that long and strange “journey between space and time”, the sound of breaking waves hitting the hull sounded so beautiful.
The sailor held the steering wheel tightly in his hand at the stern of the ship. Looking at the sea area and islands that quickly filled the entire field of vision, his fragmented memories seemed to be awakened. Countless coherent or incoherent pictures rolled in his mind, and an indescribable sense of time dislocation came over him.
He still remembers this place. He still remembers that when the Sea Song finally arrived at an island after a long drift, the chaotic sounds on the ship, the zombie-like sailors woke up from a long nightmare, and the priest who had lost himself suddenly recovered. During the Qingming Festival, people lay on the ground, kissing the rusted and collapsed deck, and then turned into spirits and ashes in the sea breeze…
He still remembered this place – he even felt that he had never left, that he had always been there Standing on the bridge of the Sea Song, he
suddenly felt a slight sting in his hands holding the steering wheel, and he suddenly woke up from the illusion of time.
He lowered his head and saw the dark surface of the steering wheel floating. There was a thin layer of flame, and then the flames dissipated, and the stinging sensation also disappeared.
“I still have a mission…yes, I still have a mission to finish…Thank you for waking me up…the sailor murmured.” He murmured to himself, thanking the Lost Home for waking him up when he was about to be lost, and then raised his head again, while carefully calibrating the course among the familiar islands,
he whispered softly, “Captain Kalani, I’m coming back. ….
The large-scale sailing expedition ship sailed carefully in the misty sea, passing between the dark “islands”, looking for gaps in the fog, the Brilliant Star also slowed down, be careful After
a while, many more white shadows flew out from the deck of the Brilliant Star. They were countless folded seabirds. They flapped their wings and passed through the mist. It hovered around the Lost Home and the Brilliant Star, and then cautiously expanded the range of the hover little by little, flying over the surrounding islands.
Duncan raised his head and looked at the “scouts” released and controlled by Lucretia, and found that they had not been attacked or corrupted or deformed – this seemed to be safer than expected.
“There are many slender shadows around these ‘islands’, hidden under the water, like some kind of spreading limbs,” Lucretia’s voice rang in Duncan’s mind, “In addition, when looking down from the air , it can be found that the shapes of these ‘islands’ are
similar, and biological structures can be distinguished on the surface of some of the islands… Just like what was mentioned in the log, they are all the corpses of Leviathan.” “
Yeah.” Duncan responded softly, his eyes also scanning the “islands” floating in the mist. In some shallow places, he also noticed the shadows extending from the bottom of the islands – those shadows were relatively different from the islands. They appear to be the “leader”, but in fact each one is still larger than the hull of the Lost Home. They stretch stiffly in the sea water, showing no response to the approach of outsiders, and appear to have been dead for a long time.
Duncan recalled the huge tentacles and pale eyes he had seen beneath the frost.
He knew that the “Leviathan beasts” that carried the city-state were actually “fake” created by the Holy Lord Netherworld, and those here were the real Leviathans.
“His descendants died surrounded by sleeves and rested at the end of the world…
Moss’s voice came from the side, with a slight metallic tremor. Duncan followed the sound and turned around, and saw that Moss had transformed into another person at some point. Despite the “casting form”, the sound of gears turning and valves opening and closing could still be heard from deep inside the brass shell.
Moss turned his head, and the sound of a reed vibrating in his chest was heard: “It’s one thing to imagine in the mind. , it’s another thing to see it with your own eyes, right?”
Then he paused, and then raised his finger to point at his body: “It never hurts to be cautious, the flesh and blood body is very fragile in this place. “
…If your flesh and blood body is broken, you can still let Vanna help heal it. If your copper shell is broken, I’m afraid you will have to find a fitter – there are no fitters on the ship.”
“Nina can help,” Moss said casually Said, “I gave her the design of my body, and she is pretty good at it now.”
Duncan thought about it and felt it made sense.
It’s just a bit evil.
At the same time, Vanna was standing on the edge of the front deck, looking at the sea in the distance with some trance. A hazy shadow stood in the mist beside her.
“…I can hear his voice, never this close before,” she said softly, as if talking to herself, “It’s everywhere, as if the entire sea is the voice of God… His sleeves are on me He was talking in my ears, but I couldn’t hear clearly.”
“Maybe it’s because we are too close, or maybe it’s just meaningless babble,” Agatha’s voice came from the shadows, “No matter what. No matter what, you need to be more cautious here than others.
You are the saint of Xiu. Your
listening and perception of Xiu are keener than others, and you are more susceptible to its influence. Even if you have the protection of the captain, you must be careful. “
My mind is deviating from human nature.”
“I know,” Vanna nodded lightly, “Thanks for reminding me.”
Agatha didn’t say anything more, but stood thoughtfully in the fog. After a long time, she whispered. She said, “What do you think… Bartok’s country will be like?”
Vanna blinked, but she didn’t know how to answer this question.
“His descendants died around him… Here, the dead Leviathan turned into this island, and the Storm Goddess slept surrounded by them. This made me suddenly curious about where other gods rested,” Aga Sha slowly
said , “My teachings tell me that the souls of the dead will pass through that gate and usher in eternal peace in Bartok’s country. My memory tells me that those ‘messengers of death’
They are real, they will pass through the spirit world and respond to the call of the gatekeeper…
“But where is that gate? Is it standing somewhere at the end of this world? Are those messengers there too? Those who died… will the wilderness of souls they finally reach be in the center of such a sea?
“I feel… these are hard to imagine.”
Vanna opened her eyes slightly, looking at the figure standing in the fog with some surprise – these doubts should not come from the mouth of a saint, a former gatekeeper, but she could not help but be attracted by Agatha A series of questions aroused my thoughts, and I even
began to have the same curiosity.
She turned around and looked into the mist in the distance.
What would the temple that “governs all storms and anchors the cornerstone of the sea” described in the “Book of Storms” look like? 2
“There is a large island ahead,” Lucretia’s voice It sounded in Duncan’s heart, with a hint of excitement, that there seemed to be large buildings on the island!” 2
The fog seemed to retreat around the Lost Home, a gap appeared in front of the bow, and at the end of the sea that suddenly became clear, at the source Under the dim light of the mysterious chaos in the sky, a huge island appeared in everyone’s eyes.
It was an “island” that seemed to be “stacked” by countless huge black boulders. It was more of a natural product than a natural product. It is like a “wonder building” artificially built by an ancient civilization. Large and small
rectangular stones that have been precisely cut and intricately arranged rise from the sea and are piled up into an undulating structure that can be seen at a glance. And the huge The “palace” stands on top of countless rectangular stones – 7
It is also made of stone-like “materials”, with a black or dark green color on the surface, and a crystal-like green substance inlaid in the stone. Between the blocks, a gloomy, complex and mysterious outer wall is constructed. The “palace” as a whole presents a layered
structure, with astonishingly huge pillars supporting its heavy lower outer edge, and its upper part has another layer. Many weird hollows seemed to have been deliberately left for some kind of huge creature to enter and exit.
“Amazing… structure,” Moss stared blankly at the huge palace standing in the dim light, with a gaping joint in his jaw. A little bit fell off, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, “How was it built?!”
“Anyway, it is definitely not something that the current city-state civilization can build. “Duncan said casually, and then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed those…”things” extending from the side of the lower level of the palace.
They were some kind of huge limbs, like the tentacles of sea beasts .
, extending from the gap on the side of the palace to the sea. “We moved closer,”
Duncan
said in a deep voice, “We found her. “
