Chapter 469: Signature
Helena checked with Vanna several times to determine if she was having auditory hallucinations.
"So, you mean, Duncan? Captain Abnomar, the shadow of subspace and the owner of the Lost Land, began to rebuild the "Lost Fleet" after the Frost Event, and his first action was to do so?????? Is it for you to take advantage of the loophole to get a pass for his new ship? β
Vanna had embarrassment on her face and hesitation in her tone, but she still had to nod stiffly: "Yes?????? That's what he told me. β
"And the purpose of him asking you to apply for this pass is so that the new members of the Lost Fleet can continue to run the freight business on the boundless seas?"
β?????? Yes, that's what he told me. β
Helena looked up at the direction where Vision 004 sank to the ground, then at Fanna standing in front of her, and then looked up again, and finally couldn't hold back after scanning her eyes back and forth several times: "The Tomb of the Nameless King even updated the list of visions today!" Because of Duncan? Abnomar's operation, this? The world now even has three more unnumbered visions! The Church of the Four Gods will then be busy, and it will probably take a lot of manpower and a lot of time to figure out what the unnumbered visions mean - including the "lost fleet"! β
"Yes," Vana bowed her head, "but?????? He really hoped that the Deep Sea Church would issue a special pass for the White Oak. β
Helena tilted her head and looked into Vanna's eyes in silence.
Vanna lowered her head, trying to express her embarrassment and regret in her gesture. However, her efforts in posture had little effect.
After all, the Pope is one meter seven, and she is close to one meter nine in height. Helena quietly took two steps back.
"Two things," the Pope seemed to take a light breath, her face calm, and she regained her former grace and elegance, and said to Fanna, "First, you can't issue this pass, even if you are still officially a judge and a saint, but you are also a member of the Lost Country, which is not in line with the rules of avoiding suspicion, Fanna, you should understand this." β
Vanna's face suddenly showed embarrassment and regret, and she subconsciously spoke: "The second one??? Helena closed her eyes slightly, and seemed to be determined: "I'll sign the second thing." Vanna didn't seem to react for a moment, and stared at the female pope in front of her with wide eyes.
Helena didn't seem to care about the momentary stunned and questioning on Fanna's face, she just exhaled and said lightly: "So, what do you think of Duncan?" What style of pass would Abnomar prefer? β
Vanna continued to be dumbfounded.
She only heard the Pope's voice continue to come: "The pass will be ready soon, I will pray and listen to the revelation of the goddess in the Storm Cathedral, if there is really no problem, this pass will be delivered to you in a secret manner, maintain the ceremony site on your side, and wait for news." β
As these words fell, Helena's figure had gradually dimmed and gradually disappeared into the assembly square.
In the depths of the boundless sea, in a secret route distorted and hidden by supernatural forces, the majestic Cathedral Ark is slowly cruising the territory of civilization.
The steam core was surging with power, and the sacred steam condensed into an undispersed cloud over the church ark, and the melodious bell rang to announce the successful conclusion of a psionic gathering.
In the deepest part of the cathedral ark, submerged in the "bilge" of the endless sea, the brazier burned, the light of the fire dispelled the darkness and shadows, and the pope standing between the two braziers slowly opened her eyes.
The graceful lady exhaled deeply, a complex and tangled expression appeared on her face, and almost at the same time, an old, hoarse voice came into her ears: "Oh, you seem to have something to worry about, little girl. β
Helena looked up and looked not far away, where the flickering light of the fire illuminated it, and she could see that there was a "pillar" that seemed to be intertwined with intertwined blood vessels and nerves, standing in the dim depths, and all kinds of artificial pipes and electrodes connected to the thick nerve cords, and in between, there was a faint light flickering, flickering and dimming.
"You're awake all the time?" Helena froze and spoke politely to the mythical beast.
"I don't want to wake up, but it's too noisy," the beast carrying the ark of the church began, "it's noisy every time you meet with that psionic portal, and it's especially noisy today. β
β.????? I'm sorry, something happened, I'm not very calm this time," Helena said, "and then I need to pray and ask the goddess for revelation." β
"Something you want to talk to the Queen?" The old hoarse voice sounded, "Okay, I won't bother, I hope you can hear a clearer answer this time, and by the way, say hello to the queen on my behalf." β
Helena hummed, then turned to face the nearest brazier, closed her eyes, and began to pray.
In the vast dim space, silence enveloped all around, and time seemed to stop flowing, only the light and shadow in the brazier jumped, as if invisibly constructing a communication across the curtain - I don't know how long it had passed, Helena finally finished praying and slowly opened her eyes.
She frowned, as if this prayer felt a little different than before.
Revelation from the Goddess?????? As vague as ever, but in the vague "guidance", there seems to be something like ?????? Emotions are the same thing.
She couldn't tell what the vague and unfamiliar feeling was, but after looking down and pondering for a long time, she confirmed the main part of the revelation: permission and approval.
Helena exhaled, then turned to look at the nerve cord full of pipes, cables, and electrodes: "The goddess has sent a revelation, and I have also conveyed my greetings by the way. β
There was no responseβthe Leviathan beast carrying the ark seemed to be asleep again.
Helena was accustomed to this, and after saying hello, she grabbed it in the darkness beside herβa blank passage document appeared in her hand out of thin air.
After briefly confirming that the document had been taken correctly, the Pope took her pen and signed her name and some necessary contents with a few brushstrokes, and then she walked to the nearest brazier, bowed her head and silently recited the corresponding prayer, and threw the document into the fire.
In the blink of an eye, the documents and documents with her name written on them were engulfed in flames, turning into bits of dust and dissipating into the real world.
Vanna opened her eyes in the cabin, and as soon as she regained consciousness, she subconsciously gasped for air.
The ceremonial arena that was improvised by crude means was still inferior to the "Sea Tide Chamber" in the church, and when she returned, the feeling of being submerged in the sea was extremely strong, and even made her, a storm saint, a little uncomfortable.
But fortunately, this psionic gathering was successfully completed.
Vana took a few breaths, calmed down, sorted out the process of this assembly in her mind, and prepared to wait patiently for Pope Helena's reply, as well as the "pass" that would most likely be passed to her through the "secret ceremony".
Theoretically, the Pope would have to perform a series of prayers before the pass could be prepared - even if the step of "inspecting the ship" was omitted for various reasons, the prayer to the goddess would still be indispensable.
However, in the next second, when the corner of her eye swept to the temporary altar that had been hastily arranged, Fanna's expression was suddenly stunned.
The coarse candles that served as ritual braziers had burned out at some point, and the candlesticks that theoretically could have burned all day were now only piled up ashes and tears, and in the last wisps of green smoke that dissipated, a "pass piece" that still emitted a faint glow of dust was lying quietly on the floor.
So fast?
Vanna frowned, and stepped forward to pick up the papers, looking at them carefully.
A standard permit document containing the basic information of the White Oak and the transcendent elements involved, as well as the Church's stamp, an original copy of the pass and a copy of the pass to be presented for regular customs inspection.
They are all signed with Pope Helena's name.
There is no problem with the documents - and there can be no problems.
It's just that it came too quickly, and I just returned from the assembly hall, and the documents have already been delivered.
Vanna held the documents and certificates and examined them carefully for a long time, and after a while, she suddenly heard a voice come into her head, it was the voice of Pope Helena.
"What Captain Duncan wanted has been sent out through the Secret Rite. β
Vanna glanced down at the thing in her hand and dispelled the small doubts in her heart: "Yes, it has been received." Then she exhaled, thanked the Pope and said goodbye, then put away the papers and hurried out of the cabin.
Duncan was still waiting on the deck at this time - when Vanna appeared on the deck in a hurry, he had a smile on his face: "You've been there for a long time, is the meeting going well?" β
"The rally was ?????? Smooth," Vana hesitated, the first thing that came to mind was the three "unnumbered visions" that appeared on the parchment she brought out from Vision 004, she glanced at the smiling "party" in front of her with mixed feelings, and then handed over the passage document that had just been passed from the Storm Cathedral, "But you can take a look at this first, the pass you wanted." β
"Pass?" Duncan was stunned for a moment, he did tell Fanna about it, but he didn't expect the other party to take out the pass when he came back from attending the rally, such an incredible efficiency made him a little confused.
However, he still reached out and took the documents and certificates, and sighed casually as he swept his eyes over the documents: "You are really efficient?????? Do you have all these things with you? β
"This ?????? Actually, things are a bit complicated," Fanna said with embarrassment on her face, "I didn't sign these things, it was Helena's crown, she heard about it??????"
She was just halfway through her sentence when she was suddenly interrupted by Duncan, who suddenly raised his head: "Wait, who did you say signed this?" β
Vanna was stunned, she didn't know why the captain had such a big reaction: "Yes?????? Helena, is there any problem? β
Duncan didn't answer, he just looked into Vanna's eyes, and after a long time, he lowered his head again, staring at the handwriting on the passage papers.
His gaze fell on the signature at the end of the certificate. Signatory β Gemona.
Document, original certificate, copy, three signatures. That's all the same.
