Chapter 470: Ge Mona's "Hint"?
The name of the storm goddess Grimona appeared on the pass—and Duncan was familiar with the handwriting.
Because he had seen it before, it was when he was in Plain, and the suspected Storm Goddess was leaving a message of thanks to him - what did he say to the "god?" The handwriting is still impressive.
However, Vanna says that the pass was signed by Pope Helena.
She could not have been mistaken, and there was no need to tell such a meaningless lie, so there was only one explanation - in her eyes, the name on the pass was indeed Helena.
Who sees the real thing? What does this very different "presentation" mean in the eyes of the two? The Storm Goddess?????? What message do you want to convey to yourself in this way? Or rather?????? What is her purpose in doing this?
Duncan controlled the expression on his face, and restrained the confusion in his heart, he didn't feel any obvious disobedience from those pages, so he could only try to get some information from Fanna.
He raised his head and looked at the inquisitor lady opposite: "What did Helena say when she handed you the pass"
"Pope, she didn't say anything, just said that what you wanted was ready," Vanna still cared a little about Duncan's strange attitude, but she replied immediately, and then she told the process of the exchange between herself and the Pope about the pass in the assembly hall as it was, to explain why the certificate was signed by Helena, and only after she had finished speaking, she asked while cautiously observing Duncan's reaction, "These things?????? Is there something wrong? ”
Duncan was silent for two seconds before suddenly speaking, "?????? No, no problem, these are good. ”
Vanna's behavior doesn't seem to be fake, she obviously doesn't know anything, but more importantly?????? If the details described by Vana are not wrong, then the "Pope Helena" ?????? It does not seem to be known about the change in the signature of the passer.
Unless the Pope used acting skills - but why did she do it?
Vanna had been paying attention to Duncan's reaction, and despite the many doubts in her mind, she finally didn't ask anything, but then mentioned another very important thing:
"Also, this time it was I who entered the mausoleum as a listener - the parchment I brought out had information about the new vision??????"
"A new vision?" Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and at the same time was a little surprised, "This is not the secret of your internal assembly?" Is it okay to just tell me directly? ”
"Sooner or later, changes in the list of visions will be announced to the world, and now I tell you that it is only a little earlier, besides?????? New visions are relevant to you. ”
"Oh?"
Vanna froze: "Vision - frost, vision - Lost Fleet, vision - Lost Fleet." As in the case of Plant, there is no number. ”
There was some silence on the empty deck for a while, except for the sound of the wind blowing in his ears and the crashing waves crashing against the hull, and it took a long time for Duncan to break the silence: "?????? Oh, quite a lot. ”
"Well, indeed?????? Quite a lot," Vanna said a little hesitantly, "Under normal circumstances, even the appearance of a new vision is enough to attract the attention of the Church of the Four Gods, and this time three visions have been directly updated, and one of them is the original number 005 Lost Country ??????"
"So what's next? Will churches and research organizations be busy? ”
"There will probably be countless scholars who will lose countless hairs, and it will probably be difficult for several popes to sleep peacefully for the next period of time?????? Even if the new vision does not show danger, the subsequent divination rituals and data collation are a big undertaking. ”
Duncan thought for a moment: "?????? Oh, come on, they come on. ”
Even Fanna, who has always been calm and calm, finally managed to control her expression that was almost untense at this time, and an indescribable strange emotion spread in her heart, and she held back for a long time before finally bursting out: "You are" party "
?????? Don't have any ideas? ”
Duncan pondered for a moment and looked at Vana with a serious face: "Next time I'll try to make the movement smaller?" Or you go back and persuade your pope to make them want to open some ??????"
Vanna: "....
Miss Inquisitor seemed to be in a state of confusion for a moment, but Duncan didn't care about her reaction, but looked up thoughtfully at the familiar decks, masts, and transparent agitated spirit sails in mid-air.
As the owner of the ship, Duncan felt no change in the slightest, as the owner of the ship, which was no longer "Vision 005" in the list of "Tombs of the Nameless King".
It lost its number.
What exactly does this change mean?
Duncan lowered his head and looked thoughtfully at his palm, then his gaze fell on the pass again, the name "Grimana" exuding a strong presence that caught his eye.
He thought of the brief connection between Ah Dog and the god of wisdom, and then of the strange dark space, and the records of suspected conversations between the gods seen in the dark space.
"Vanna," he said abruptly, looking into Vanna's eyes very seriously, "how can we establish communication with the gods?" ”
Vanna woke up from her stunned state in an instant, and then she was startled by Duncan's words, looking a little at a loss: "Huh?!" You say?????? Establish communication with the gods?! ”
"That's right," Duncan nodded, "to establish communication with the gods." ”
He had just thought of one thing: if there was really some kind of "communication platform" between the gods hidden in that strange dark space, and the "blasphemous book" that had been burned before was only a "key" used to open that dark space, then this "key" was probably not only in the hands of a few cults, or in other words-
Since even the "blasphemy relics" in the hands of cultists can open the "communication platform" of the gods, what about those orthodox churches that are already closely related to the four gods? Will what they have or the technology that will be more effective? It's quite logical.
Duncan didn't think in this direction before, on the one hand, he was affected by the inertia of thinking, after all, the previous golden mask and this time the book of blasphemy were obtained from the cultists, so he instinctively had a simple idea of finding the cultists to "kill on the spot" on the other hand?????? It was he who was subconsciously avoiding this direction.
Because he did see the role of the Cult of the Four Gods in the city-state, he had a certain natural affection for the forces behind Vana and Morris - it was risky to spy on that dark space, as evidenced by the destroyed golden mask and the blasphemous book, the power of truth is beyond the power of an extraordinary thing, and if it is not done properly, the "holy object" that acts as a medium will be destroyed, and the person who assists will have a fear of life, this risk?????? It would be more appropriate to leave it to the cultists.
But now Duncan suddenly had a new idea.
The idea stemmed from the signature of the Goddess of Storms that appeared on the pass.
It may be a signal of kindness, or it may be a reminder.
Of course, he couldn't explain it to Vanna in too much detail - after all, the latter was still a devout saint, and it would definitely not be appropriate to tell her directly, "I think the cultists' relics are too difficult to find, so I want to try them with your relics from the Deep Sea Church??????
Vana didn't think of the reason behind Duncan's casual question, she was only surprised that the captain suddenly became interested in the gods, but she soon remembered that the other party did seem to have a unique insight and research in the field of theology, so she thought about it for a moment and replied: "It depends on what kind of communication you are referring to—generally speaking, we call all acts of godly worship "communication with God," and even a prayer in the evening of ordinary believers is a conversation with God.
On top of this, it is the formal priest who understands God's "knowledge" through years of training, practice, and the assistance of specific rituals and objects, and draws strength from this knowledge and truth, or hears God's revelation, which is a further "communication".
"And higher than that are saints like me. The saints do not need to prepare too complicated rituals, but only need their own spiritual resonance, and they can communicate with God relatively easily, because our spirituality is connected with God's spirituality?????."
There was a hint of pride in Vanna's tone at the end, but she noticed that Duncan frowned slightly—these answers were clearly not what the captain wanted.
"It's not that kind of communication," Duncan shook his head, slowly organizing the language, trying to make Vanna understand her intentions, "I mean?????? More direct, tighter, more efficient ?????? Contact, do you understand? It's not some vague revelation in prayer, but the kind that can talk directly to the four gods. ”
Vanna's mouth slowly opened wide, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Duncan knew he probably wouldn't be able to get an answer from her—as expected.
"Forget it, it's a bit unrealistic," he waved his hand and exhaled softly, "The ritual techniques you used won't work for me, maybe it would be more effective for me to just find a few sacred texts of the Four Gods Sect." ”
Vana blinked, and as usual, she once again felt a little out of step with the captain's train of thought. But thankfully, the captain didn't dwell too much on this outlandish topic.
"Later, you can go to the White Oak and give the pass to Lawrence, and I'll be there," Duncan commanded, "and if he asks about the next steps, let him go with the Lost Country for the time being, and we'll take a long-term view when the matter on Frost's side is completely settled." ”
Vanna bowed her head, "Yes, Captain." ”
Duncan nodded, but then, as if he heard something, his brows furrowed slightly: "Huh? Vanna was curious, "What's going on?" ”
“?????? Agatha came looking for me," Duncan said slowly, his expression becoming serious, "and she said she had found a way to dive into the depths.
