Chapter 4: The Eyes of the Sea God
"The water came in......"
"Father, what should I do?"
"Help, my child"
"I'm so tired!"
"The ship is capsizing, it's over"
"The edict is coming, the seaweed department is finished, and I'm going to finish it too!"
......
It was as if there were countless people shouting loudly in his ears, buzzing so much that Connors was very uncomfortable, and he wanted to shut up but for some reason he couldn't muster any strength.
"Goo Dong Goo Dong"
With his mouth filled with water and a suffocating sensation of shackles holding him in place, Connors barely opened his eyes to see tilting merchant ships, struggling men, surging whirlpools, crumbling rubble......
Everything was spinning, and finally turned into a pair of blue eyes without any emotion, staring at him deadly.
"Ahh
Connors sat down violently, his heart pounding.
"It hurts!"
His head seemed to be torn, the pain constantly stimulated him, the veins on his forehead were pounding, and his handsome face was twisted and hideous, and it took a long time to slowly calm down.
"Brother Chief, you ...... Are you alright?"
Little Scales asked timidly, hiding not far away, Connors's expression just now scared her.
"It's alright, little scale, how are your injuries?"
Despite the stinging pain in his head, Connors asked gently, squeezing out a smile as best he could.
"My father has treated me. "The little mermaid fiddled with the tail fin, the scar was still there but much better, and the Khatam people were very self-healing.
"By the way, my father said that my brother would tell him as soon as he woke up. β
The little mermaid patted her head very cutely and hurriedly went out, looking at the other party's back, Connors smiled helplessly, fortunately, the little guy didn't have any shadows in his heart.
With a panicked shout, the door of the room slammed open, and Mabel looked at Connors, who had already sat up, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Whatever it is, just wake up.
"Uncle Maypott, how many days have I been in a coma?"
......
Quietly listening to Mepott's explanation, Connors tried to think as much as he could, and despite his poor physical condition, he was more concerned about the affairs of the tribe, because it would determine his life and death.
After learning that he had been in a coma for five days, he had some guesses about the reaction of the tribesmen, and now he has only left more than twenty or so, which is a bit unexpected, and the company is about to collapse on the earth, and the boss is still hospitalized, and it is a miracle that he can leave a small half of the people.
Hearing that Mepott decisively concentrated all the strength of the fishing team on the fertile side, and immediately hacked two ill-intentioned guys to deter others, Connors nodded even more, living in such a backward small tribe and such a decisive and discerning ability made him admire.
After all was said and done, Connors spoke:
"Uncle Mepott, you first let people go out and tell everyone that I've woken up, let them not worry, go back and rest again, you've worked hard for the past few days, I'll do the rest of the things"
Looking at Mepott's joy and hard to hide the tiredness Connors felt his nose slightly astringent, and he seemed to be completely integrated with his ex, inheriting not only memories, but also emotions, cognitions, and so on.
"Chief, it's okay, I can continue, you've been in a coma for so many days, it's better to take care of it. β
Mepott waved his hand repeatedly.
Connors didn't look at him, but instead looked at the Little Mermaid, who had been staying nearby
"Little Scale, my brother has given you a task, take a good look at your father, let him sleep beautifully and don't do anything, can you complete this difficult task?"
"Hmm"
The Little Mermaid nodded vigorously, and then stared at her father like a little warrior, as if she wanted the other party to go home and sleep immediately.
Looking at the guy's serious little cute look, Connors was a little funny, waved his hand to let the two of them leave the house, closed the door by the way, rubbed his eyebrows, and relieved the pain, he remembered that he was in a coma after 'seeing the magic', although the original Connors was not in good health, but he would not faint casually.
"Because it's the reason for the golden finger"
He tried to enter the 'horizon' again, and he could still see those magical points of light, they were everywhere, but this time he could clearly feel that there was something in his brain that was slowly draining, and with the disappearance of this thing, the pain began to invade again, and he was frightened to quickly disperse the 'horizon' to be a little better.
"It seems that using the gold finger consumes something similar to mental power. β
As a veteran novelist, Connors has a deep understanding of what kind of head pain is excessive mental power consumption, and meridian pain is mana exhaustion.
The current physical state does not allow it, and when I get completely well, I will explore the relationship between the two to prevent the oolong incident of falling into a coma again.
But before he can do that, he has a very important thing to do.
Struggling to get up from the bed, Connors reluctantly waved his tail fin and came to the next room, a table, a wooden shelf with more than a dozen books on it, everything in this room.
These books were left by Connors's mother, and they contain many biographies, legends, historical texts, and a collection of tales written by the Khatam people, which the previous chief took great pains to collect, because Connors's mother loved to read, and this hobby was also reserved for her predecessors.
Fingers slid on each book, memories kept flooding his heart, a faint warmth filled his mind, in the memory of his ex, his mother was here to read to him, this feeling made his parents die for many years he liked very much.
Suddenly, Connors pulled out a book wrapped in fish skin, the book was very thin, only a dozen pages of white fish skin, white fish skin is a kind of thing similar to paper, very strange, as long as you scratch it with a sharp object, it will leave a permanent trace, the Hatamu people used this as a tool for recording.
It is a book that records biographical legends.
I quickly flipped to a page in the middle and found the sentence in my memory
β...... The ancestors were crazy with magic, trying to use the eyes of the gods to guide the direction of the outside world, time was confused, space was turbulent, and the eyes of the gods were lost in the long river, but instead of opening a rich other world, the door to the abyss began, and the disaster began......"
With a heartbeat, Connors read it carefully, this is a passage that records a certain legendary magician, and the full text is like this.
"Seed of God, The great Khatam ancestors created a greater magical civilization, their tail fin swam through any part of the sea, their magic made all races submit, their will is the will of the sea, but the desire for truth, the pursuit of miracles, the ambition of pioneering, the Khatam people are not willing to stop there, the ancestors are crazy because of magic, trying to use the eyes of God to guide the direction of the outside world, time is confused, space is turbulent, the eyes of God are lost in the long river, but it is not a rich other world, but the door of the abyss, so the disaster began, the glorious civilization declined, and the great Khatam people failedβ
This passage ends here, and then it is recorded that something else is recorded.
After reading it a few more times, Connors put down the book.
"The meaning of this passage is roughly that the Khatam people once created a great civilization and wanted to open up other planes, but by dying, they opened the abyss and destroyed their own civilization, just as Albert Einstein once said that the fourth world war of mankind will be beaten with stones and sticks."
"The other world is mentioned here, that is to say, if this passage is correct, in the heyday of the Hatamu people recognized the existence of the plane and had the means to open it, but they accidentally opened the abyss plane that was stronger than them, but in essence, it is the same, since they can open the abyss plane, why can't they open the earth plane!"
After all, it is still human beings, and it is not so simple to throw away the bits and pieces of nearly thirty years at once, although it is slim, but there is real hope.
This passage also mentions gods, gods, does it mean that the god of this world exists, or is it just a powerful magician, and what does it mean that the eyes of the gods are lost in the long river of time and space. β
Connors felt a sudden burst in his heart, God's eyes, aren't his golden fingers eyes, and the 'horizon' he sees is the world that God sees!
Think about it a little further - could these eyes be the culprit of their own crossing?
Connors shook his head, he didn't even know whether this passage was true or false, but deep down he couldn't help but want to believe it.
"Forget it, if you can't hand over the prescribed amount of potions after three months, don't mention that you will be eaten by a school of fish when you return to Earth, and you can't die again, but this golden finger also has to be named, just 'Poseidon's Eyes'."
Poseidon's eyes!
