In the vast and dimly lit assembly hall, the three church leaders fell silent at the same time.

It didn't take long for Pope Banster, the minister of death, to suddenly speak softly: "The law of anomalies and anomalies - there will always be anomalies or anomalies that do not conform to the law." ”

"Article Zero is indeed useful, but Article Zero can't be used casually," the short and kind Lune shook his head, "We can't just apply Article Zero to something incomprehensible, it will make us paralyzed and miss the opportunity when the real danger arises." ”

"What do you mean...... Is there a problem with the information given by Vision 004? Banst tilted his head slightly, "The vision-brand is not without a number, but the number is hidden?" ”

"It could also be a new naming mechanism," Luan said in thought, "There is no problem with Vision 004 and Vision Plant, but we still can't understand this new way of naming Vision - what has happened to Point recently is very special, it is a city-state that has been polluted by history and 'saved' by the forces of subspace, and nothing like this has ever happened......"

"I don't like 'new mechanics,'" Banster shook his head, his voice low, "new mechanics mean new uncontrollable factors, and we've sacrificed too much to figure out how the world works...... And the world is always changing. ”

"Nobody likes it, but the world is always so unkind," Luan shrugged, and then his gaze fell on Helena, "I hope you can get something out of Prand, and see for yourself what happened to that city-state with your own eyes." ”

Helena didn't speak for a while, just nodded slightly, she seemed to be in thought, and after a long time, she suddenly broke the silence: "There is one more thing, you should have noticed it too, the problem of Vision 001." ”

Lune's expression became serious, and the old man who served the god of wisdom rarely had such a tense face: "Yes, the Sungazing Tower has been determined, the rune ring at the edge of the sun...... It was indeed broken, and although the missing part only took up a small part of the overall rune structure, that piece was indeed missing. I'm still keeping an eye on Vision 001, but I haven't noticed any further damage to the rune rings - but there's no sign of self-repair. ”

"I didn't find any unusual movement from the Sun cultists," Banst followed suit, "I also suspected that this matter had something to do with them at the first time, but from the information I have so far, it seems that the solar heretics themselves have not noticed the changes in Vision 001. ”

"That doesn't mean that this matter has nothing to do with the Creep Sun Wheel," Helena said in a deep voice, "The Creep Sun Wheel is one of the oldest beings in this world, and those solar heretics are at best mildew grown under the influence of the Creep Sun Chakra, and their connection to their own gods is not as close as they think. ”

"We'll keep an eye on the cultists and the 'Children of the Sun' behind them," Banst said slowly, "and the Ultimate Preachers...... In any case, what happened with Pland cannot be repeated. ”

Helena bowed slightly, and then she saw the light and shadow floating in the darkness, and the figures of the two popes gradually faded and dissipated into nothingness.

She glanced back at the place where the Tomb of the Nameless King had sunk, and then the figure gradually dissipated in the assembly hall.

In the next second, Helena opened her eyes in the reality dimension.

She stepped out of the chamber and was followed by two attendants - Helena waved her hand for the attendants to leave, and she walked alone through the long corridor to the upper deck of the cathedral ship.

A majestic cathedral sails across the vast and dim sea, with its triple spires and towering spires and bell towers reaching into the sky, the top of which is submerged in mist and the lower part of the cathedral ship is heavily armoured, massive pipes, and rugged machinery that connects the deck area.

An ark ship, with a steel fortress in the lower part and a holy church in the upper part - this is the true headquarters of the Church of the Deep Sea, the "Storm Cathedral" that cruises the endless sea.

Helena stepped out of the cloister strewn with sacred reliefs and onto the terrace on the upper deck, where she looked down on the majestic engineering wonder beneath her feet.

The church is actually quite new, in fact, its hull was partially completed only thirty-five years ago, and its superstructure was fully built twenty years ago - the scholars of the College of Truth helped design the church's massive power system and complex control mechanisms, which have worked very well, at least so far.

Prior to the completion of the cathedral ship, the Cathedral of the Storm was much smaller than it is today, and its endurance on the infinite seas was much shorter.

The Storm Goddess didn't mind that the believers would use the help of paganism to build their own temples, and neither of the four gods would mind.

In fact...... The four gods don't mind anything that happens on earth.

Helena took a light breath and looked at the thin mist around the cathedral ship - this mist, and the chaotic darkness of the surrounding water, indicated that the entire ark was now sailing between the physical and spiritual realms, a position where most of the ordinary ships sailing the infinite sea could not observe the Storm Cathedral.

After a quiet cold breeze, Helena reached out and took out a piece of wood from her side that had been carefully carved by hand into the shape of a wave.

She silently recited the name of the storm goddess Gemona, and threw the amulet of the waves, carved from "sea polycyp", far into the sea.

"The faith of the saint you're concerned about has begun to waver," Helena whispered as if talking to herself, as if talking to herself, as if looking at the direction in which the amulet had fallen, "but her human part doesn't seem to be dusty—she's still human. ”

The waves gently undulated, and there seemed to be an invisible whisper sounding softly in the sound of the waves, Helena listened for a long time, and nodded lightly: "Is this good...... Yes, I see. ”

The sea polyp talisman that had been tumbling and undulating on the surface of the water for a long time rolled and sank silently into the endless sea.

Purand, inside the antique shop.

The morning sun is just right, the bright sunlight shines through the freshly wiped windows, shining on the shelves of staggered heights, so that the fake antiques on the shelves seem to be coated with a layer of golden light, Nina is humming a brisk tune, happily wiping the "goods" on the shelves, occasionally poking her head out, looking at a few figures by the counter.

Alice and Shirley sat there, frowning at a stack of cards, while Dog hid in the shadows by the counter, clutching a pencil with his paws and trying to dictate a word list.

Nina thought it was amazing - she still hadn't figured out how Dog had grabbed the pencil with her paws.

After almost falling asleep for the third time, Shirley yawned hard, put the letter card in her hand on the counter, and looked up at Alice, who was engrossed next to her: "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

"Not sleepy," Alice replied honestly, looking up, "I don't know what it's like to be sleepy—I only sleep when I should." ”

“…… I'm really curious what it's like to be a puppet with a soul," Shirley muttered, then looked around cautiously, and then looked up in the direction of the second floor like a thief, and then whispered, "Hey, why didn't Mr. Duncan come down today...... And when I saw him in the morning, I felt that he was preoccupied. ”

Alice put aside the letter card she had just memorized, picked up the one she had just forgotten and started to memorize again, while absent-mindedly and casually saying, "He's thinking about the secrets of the deep sea." ”

"Thinking about the secrets of the deep sea?" Shirley was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't know, that's what he said," Alice shook her head slightly, "why don't you go and ask him?" He should be happy to teach you something......"

Shirley opened her mouth, and just wanted to say something, when she suddenly heard a panicked and frightened voice from the shadows next to the counter: "If you want to die, don't take me with you!" ”

"I didn't say I was going to ask," Shirley glared in the direction the voice came from, "I still ...... the alphabet."

She was just halfway through her sentence when she suddenly heard a crisp brass bell from the direction of the door.

Ah Dog disappeared completely in an instant, and Alice put the letter card aside with ease, and looked up at the direction of the gate: "Welcome, may I ask...... Ay? Mr. Morris? ”

It was Morris who came early in the morning - the old scholar was wearing a dark winter coat, a thick yarmulke felt hat, and a tome of old books that looked quite weighty under his arm, and when he entered the door, he first greeted Alice and Shirley at the counter, and then looked at Nina, who was cleaning up the shelves next to him: "Is Mr. Duncan here?" ”

"He's upstairs," Nina nodded, looking at the old gentleman curiously, "You have something to do with him?" ”

"I seem to have found the origin of that symbol," said Morris, cheerfully raising the old book he had brought, "it is incredible that it should appear in a document of the Old Kingdom of Crete—and so inconspicuous!" ”
