Chapter 38: The Heart of Water

The young female cleric was about twenty years old, and since she took off her hood, she had maintained a calm and unwavering expression, and even her eyes were deep and calm, like stagnant water at the bottom of an ancient well that never had waves.

Not only the appearance, but also the voice, the cold voice of the water is also unfluctuating, no matter what is said, it is like stating the affairs of others.

Over the decades, Shul had come into contact with all kinds of people, some of whom were reserved and taciturn, but he had never seen anyone look at them like this, as if they had no human feelings at all.

"Hehe, directional shadow chasing is a request that only the gods can make, so naturally it is for the gods. Shure didn't show surprise, and even his smile didn't change, after all, there are all kinds of strange people in the world, and it's just a matter of personality like the other party, so there's nothing to be surprised about, "I wonder what Wendy-sama hopes to find through me?"

Orienteering is indeed the prerogative of the gods.

Before entering, no one knew what world was in a certain otherworldly projection, let alone what was in this world, everyone was just gambling with fate. However, the gods can receive information through the access channel, but they can still detect it if there is anything special in the projection world.

Once a deity is interested in something in a projection world, he will send an oracle to the devotees, and the attendants will naturally be obliged to fulfill the deity's request and pay tribute to the deity. They either entered the projection world themselves, or commissioned professionals to enter, and as a result, the orientation of the shadow, which is rare in several years, came into being.

"The Heart of Water. The young woman's voice was calm, as if she were uttering an ordinary term, but the shock to those who knew what it was was was really unimaginable.

Most people have never even heard of the name Heart of Water, so Lisa and Moria, who are beside Shuer, and Boss Caffrey, who is a notary, are all at a loss. But Shul and Saf were different, they had read the name in ancient records and remembered what it was.

The so-called heart of water is the god in the stillborn womb.

When a certain concept or a certain rule of a certain world is worshiped by countless living beings for a long time, representative gods will be born from the concept, for example, in some worlds, the water god is born from the worship of the concept of water by living beings.

However, the birth of gods is not all smooth sailing, some gods are about to be formed, suddenly lose the vast majority of worshippers, the birth process will be interrupted, and the gods will die before they are born, leaving only a special body that already has a simple divinity, but has not yet formed a real god, this strange thing, is called the sacred heart.

The sacred heart has the prototype of the divine power that the god has after the birth of the god, and it is indeed useful to ordinary people, but it is not so indispensable, but the meaning is different for the gods, once the sacred heart with similar divine power is absorbed, although the divine power has not increased because the power of faith has not increased, the divine power will not change significantly, but the understanding and control of their own laws will be beneficial, therefore, the gods are more interested in the sacred heart with the divine power.

It's a pity that the Divine Heart has not been formed in Pavadiga for thousands of years, but once an otherworldly projection with a Divine Heart is connected to Pavatiga, gods with similar divine power will naturally sense it and will find a way to get it.

However, the probability of the birth of the Divine Heart is already very low, the probability of the Void Projection being replicated to the location of the Divine Heart is even lower, and the probability of this projection world being connected to Pavadiga is even lower and more difficult to measure, and the possibility of triple superposition is almost negligible. In tens of thousands of years of history, there have only been five encounters with the Divine Heart, and there have only been two precedents for actually bringing the Divine Heart back.

"It's actually the heart of water. Leaning the sofa, Shur closed his eyes, gently pinched the bridge of his nose and fell into deep thought, and the two clerics opposite him did not bother, just looked at him quietly.

"It's still negotiable. After a long silence, Shuer finally sat up again, leaning forward slightly, this is a small act of creating oppressive force in the negotiation, "But there are a few questions to confirm in advance. ”

"We try to answer as much as possible, except for confidentiality. The young woman didn't communicate with her companions, and she didn't even notice that her companion's face was a little strange, and she still said without emotion, "Excuse me." ”

Even if it is confidential, it must be answered, Shur did not say this, and there is no need to intensify the problem now.

"First, how far away the otherworldly projection is from here. ”

"It's nearby, about a day and a half away. ”

"I want a distance number, not too exactly, but an approximate distance. Shul shook his head, communicating with a pure layman was a problem, "I don't want to guess who is going for a day and a half and using what means of transportation. ”

"This ......"

"About a hundred kilometers or so. The older cleric interjected a question and answer.

"Where's the direction?"

"Over there. ”

His eyes roamed over the two of them, and Xiuer nodded thoughtfully: "Second, how long can the projection last?"

"As mentioned in the oracle of our lord, it won't last long. The young cleric replied, "So it needs to be as soon as possible." ”

"It won't be too long, and how fast it will be as soon as possible. With a hard sigh in his heart, Shul sighed deeply, "Sasa...... Is it possible?"

"I'm trying, a distance of 100 kilometers, it won't be too accurate, but the approximate data can still be measured. Saf clung to Shure's side, as if this was the only way to have the courage to face strangers, and from the moment she knew the direction, she had fiddled with a few small instruments in her hands, apparently calculating in advance.

"I'm sorry, but please wait a moment. Moria, Lisa, you two sit with them for a while. Although it was the other party who caused the trouble, Shul nodded politely and apologized, and stopped Saf to the corner of the secret room.

"I don't know what scale this is an otherworldly projection, I hope it's not too big. Saf, who had fled from the crowd and was almost huddled in a ball, finally regained some vitality, "Well, the border is out, and it's about ...... in a straight line from here." Forty kilometers. ”

"Is it close to our border?"

"Hmm. Saph nodded, "In that case, the projection shouldn't be too big." In general, the entrance is mostly in the center of the projection, so the radius of this projection is about 50 to 60 kilometers. ”

"Not so sure, there are examples of entrances approaching one side. ”

"Well, you're right, if that's the case, the Temple of the Gods has divine protection, and the otherworldly projection will definitely not be superimposed on the space occupied by the Temple, so the entrance should be close to our side, and the main body will spread in that direction. ”

"Let's wait for the specific data to be determined, can the projection life be estimated?" Shuer knew that this was the most critical issue at this stage.

"A month and a half, a month and a half at most, that's just a rough estimate, and the specific results will only be shorter than that. ”

"Just kidding. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll count ...... again" Saf bit her lip and bowed her head as if she had made a mistake.

"I don't mean you, I mean they're joking. Shul rubbed Saf's head, pretending not to hear a lovely snort coming from behind, "You're doing a good job." ”

Pulling Saf back to his seat, Shure leaned back on the sofa, staring at the two clerics in front of him with burning eyes, the older one was stared at a little nervously, but the younger one was still the same, not at all emotionally fluctuating.

"Are you two joking with us?" After thinking about it repeatedly, Shul had already made a decision in his heart, and an unhappy expression appeared on his face, "Caffrey, you are a notary, are you sure that these two priesthood are really sincere?"

"I'm sure. Once he became a notary, the servants of the God of Covenant became impartial and stood firm on the position of a third party, "What objection does Your Excellency the priest have?"

"A little over a month, that's the time they gave me. Shul said with a calm face, "What do you say I have to object?"

Kavley frowned, visibly surprised.

"I guess there's plenty of time. The older woman preemptively said.

"You don't just count the time you spend inside. Shuer pretended to be surprised and said, "Or do you think that chasing shadows is just a few people rushing into the entrance, then casually strolling around, taking what they want and leaving?"

"It's not just a matter of finding a few people, we need plenty of time to gather teammates from all over the world, and at this point, including the transfer of information, it will take a month at the earliest, and if we want to do it faster, our teammates will have to pay a lot to do it. "And even if this step goes well, it's useless for the teammates to come over in a few days, any projection world, we need to spend a lot of time and investment to calculate the projection situation, but also to infer the internal environment, so as to prepare the corresponding supplies and necessities." ”

"There's only one month, and you want me to do this from scratch, and then go in and spend an unknown amount of time looking for the Heart of Water?" Shul spread his hands and said dissatisfiedly, "To make this kind of request is to send our team to death, if it weren't for Caffrey as a notary, I even suspect that your purpose is not pure." ”

With every word Shull said, Caffrey nodded, and every word he said was indeed true, without the slightest element of exaggeration.

"So, Your Excellency, the two priests. Finally, Shure sighed and shook his head, "Judging from the current information, it is impossible for any of the Shadow Chaser team to accept the commission of the two of them, unless they want to commit suicide, they will rush in without preparations." And we would have to pay a lot of money to rush for time in gathering staff and preparations, so the deal was not negotiable. ”
