【Chapter 013】 Krem broke new ground
Qin Song had already guessed Alice's question tonight.
Now it is important to confirm whether Karrick and the sailor's symptoms are the effects of mystical energy or the scurvy he has judged. Between the two, he prefers the latter, and regardless of the place or time of the appearance of the disease, and the most important symptoms, it is typical of scurvy.
The god of the sea, in Qin Song's memory, is an ancient god hidden deep in the sea, called the Lord of the Endless Tides, hidden in the 10,000-meter deep sea, a giant conch palace half-buried in the humus sediment layer - Nurnasa, leading thousands of scale-clad deep dives - an ugly and terrifying fish-man monster, active in the archipelago region located in the middle of the whirlpool sea.
At least that's how it's described in the game.
In the Middle Ages, before the invention of the compass, quadrant, sextant and other precise nautical instruments, even the merchant ships of the ocean sailed along the coastline, using the markers on the shore to chart their routes, and it was impossible to go deep into the mysterious and dangerous open sea, and the ships they built could not withstand too much wind and waves.
At the beginning of the game, the main antagonists are the Thousand Whiskers and Flesh Eaters, who are also located on land, and this boss who hides in the deep sea barely shows up. The only few incidents were when scattered deep divers swam to the coastal areas and plunder live animals as sacrifices.
All judgments are taken into account, the likelihood of scurvy is extremely high.
Well, the answer Alice wants is just around the corner.
However, things did not go well, and when the convoy passed through the Blackstone Canyon, there was an accident and encountered a robber gang - the Black Skull Bandits. Fortunately, the number of opponents was wrong, and in the course of the confrontation, the robbers found that the car was carrying only some worthless wounded, not imaginary goods, and there was no need to waste combat power at all.
After the robbers retreated into the wind-eroded cave, the convoy was able to move on, but too much time was wasted. When they arrived at the castle, the waning moon set in the west, making way for the sun to rise. Despite her efforts to fall asleep, Alice is still half-asleep and unable to really sleep, frustrated that the expected god does not appear.
The castle vacates a vacant barn to serve as a makeshift ward, and Leah is busy housing Carrick and the crew. Alice, on the other hand, ran back to the room, didn't have time to take off her clothes, pulled the quilt and lay on the bed.
The stable and soft bed dispelled the fatigue along the way, and Alice quickly fell asleep peacefully. Of course, Qin Song understood what this little guy was sleeping so anxious for.
Then, let the embodiment of love and justice give you the answers you want.
Alice tilted her head, held the pillow with both hands, and her legs were unsightly holding the quilt, and she slept very deeply. She was dreaming of standing by the sea with colorful shells shining brightly at her feet. She was walking on the shell-strewn beach when she saw a man stranded on the beach from afar.
The figure was so familiar, even though he was lying face down on the sand, Alice recognized it clearly.
Uncle Carrick.
When she squatted down and turned him over with great difficulty, what jumped into her eyes was a black face, no nose and mouth, only a pair of hollow eye sockets like skeletons, like a devil from hell, looking at her viciously.
Frightened Alice sat down on the beach, her limbs cold, cold sweat, unspeakable horror quickly growing in her mind, and the scenery around her changed, the wind was miserable, the ghost was heavy, and the black, hideous devil wriggled out of Karrick's shell......
Suddenly, a voice full of divinity came: "Alice, my believer." ”
All the terrifying scenes dissipated in an instant, and the voice was like a pair of warm giant hands, saving her from the horror, and her nervous heart instantly became calm.
"The guardian of the sanctuary of the noble soul, the coexistence of strength and wisdom, the embodiment of love and justice, the majestic Krem. I salute you!"
Alice stood in the mist of nothingness, her delicate little face full of piety.
"Dreams are projections of reality, Alice, I see what you see, I see calamity, I see rot, I see the hesitation and fear in your heart. ”
"Yes, noble gods. It's Uncle Carrick, he's ......."
"Alice, I know what you've been through. The voice interrupted her, and Qin Song knew it through her vision: "Your beloved Uncle Karrick has encountered a disaster. ”
Alice's eyes were full of surprise: "Noble god, you really know everything. Uncle Karrick, he was cursed by the god of the sea. ”
"The curse of the sea god?" the voice was full of disdain: "The trick of the inferior false god, as childish and ridiculous as the trick of entertaining the naughty boys. ”
Qin Song did not deny the existence of the sea god, let alone directly explain the pathogenic principle of scurvy to her. Instead, by belittling and ridiculing the god of the sea, he used it to enhance his noble character and enhance the worship of Alice.
"Uh...... Inferior false gods?" Alice lives by the sea, and has always had a natural awe of the legend of the sea god, and has always had a natural sense of awe, Ne said: "Legend has it that the sea god Satus is a giant with blue hair and golden scales, he sits in a car driven by a golden dolphin, and holds a storm trident in his hand, which can easily set off monstrous waves to cause storms and tsunamis, sink continents, and collapse the heavens and earth. And the blasphemers who are cursed by him will leave their souls forever in the dark depths of the sea. ”
"Satus, hehe......" the voice sneered, "During my reign over the seas, he was still wandering in the void." ”
In ancient times, there is no way to verify it anyway. Besides, most of the myths themselves are fabricated, and Qin Song is not afraid of revealing the stuffing, and begins to boldly use the signature magic technique of the ancient gods [blowing himself].
"Alice, what you know about me now is only the tip of the iceberg of my great legend. Ah, that distant memory has not disappeared because of the wear and tear of time. It was a truly ancient time, the sky and the earth had not yet separated, a land of chaos filled with darkness. And I, the only one in the world, has been sleeping in chaos for 180 million years. ”
"Oh my God, 180 million years?" Alice exclaimed, this long, beyond the imagination of mortals, this long time span made her feel extremely shocked, and at the same time deeply intrigued.
"Time is a wonderful concept. For me, a thousand years, a thousand years? maybe. Until one day, I opened my eyes and saw darkness...... I don't think that's the truth of the world...... So I swung my huge wrists and feet, containing my great divine powers, and slammed them towards the chaos in front of me. ”
With a loud thunderclap, the Great Chaos suddenly burst open. The light and clear things rise and become the sky, and there are other heavy and turbid things that sink and fall and become the earth. ——The chaotic and inseparable world was divided by me in this way. ”
Alice was completely stunned, Qin Song's image began to rise infinitely in her mind, what a great god, it was he who used his great power to open up the sky and the earth in a chaos!
The real one in the world, no other god is worth mentioning in front of him.
