Taran? Al, a distinguished elven polymath and expert in the fields of mathematics, mechanics, and naturalism, is the recipient of four lifetime honors from the Academy of Truth.

A person who delves into knowledge, a person who is conscientious, a person who can soak in the laboratory without sleep, one? Someone who made Lucrecia worry about whether she would die suddenly at the research site at any time. Now, in front of everyone, the erudite scholar declared that he was helpless against the geometric light that fell from the sky.

Lucrecia raised her head, her gaze crossed the crystal ball in front of her, and landed outside the window opposite, the magnificent light was spreading from that direction, even though it was midnight, the whole sea seemed to be bathed in "sunshine", and between the light, the glowing geometry like a hill still floated quietly above the sea, its smooth wall of light was like a steep cliff, across the sky and the sea.

Another small boat crossed the glowing sea and headed for the glowing geometry, ready to pick up the research team that had completed its rotation near the Stone Ball. Lucrecia sighed, withdrew her gaze from the window, and looked at the table at hand—a strange, gray orb on the shelf.

The surface of the sphere is rough and textured like a rock, and the strange undulations and irregular lines are all over its surface, and its appearance is not good, but it is full of an indescribable mystery.

There was a strange "stone ball" ten meters in diameter in the center of the huge geometric light body floating on the surface of the sea, and Lucrecia was in front of her?????? It is a scaled-down exact replica of the stone ball. It is almost the only "achievement" after such a long period of research by a large group of experts and scholars.

"Taran? Master El has now returned to Breeze to rest, technically "kidnapped" back to Breeze by his students," Lucretia shook her head and said to her brother across the crystal ball, "If he doesn't rest, he'll probably die a sudden death outside - as an elf, it's too young to die suddenly at the age of five hundred."

As he left, he looked very frustrated, because this "thing from heaven" was beyond our comprehension, whether it was the luminous area around it or the nature of the sphere in the center, it was a mystery to us.

The researchers scraped some samples from the "stone balls," but the results showed that they appeared to be fine stone dust. The exploration of the inside of the orb has made no progress - all means, including supernatural power, have failed, and it is as if it is wrapped in a dense "shell" that hides all its secrets, and we have not yet made up our minds to ?????? it destructively, at least until now." test".

"After tossing and turning for so long, we have only reached one thing on the ground, and that is ????? This large geometric light body must indeed have fallen from the rune rings around Vision 001, as was concluded by the "Tower" side of Light Wind Harbor, who carefully looked at the gap in the edge of Vision 001 and found that the missing parts matched the "Geometric Light Body". ”

Lucrecia said a lot in one breath, obviously she had accumulated a lot of boredom during this time, and Tirien was a good listener, not interrupting the whole time while her sister was talking, until Lucrecia's voice fell, and he slowly spoke: "Has it been confirmed that it is the part that fell off from Vision 001????? Lucy, whose father had warned the Church of the Four Gods about this, said that the "sun" might be heading for a decline. ”

"I've heard about this," Lucretia nodded slightly, "No one dares to take the warning from Captain Duncan seriously, although most people's first reaction after hearing this warning is nervousness and fear of the Lost Country??????"

Tyrion tugged at the corners of his mouth, as he often talked to "Duncan?" Abnomar" met and saw his father's new methods with his own eyes, and he couldn't comment on anything at this time, so he could only change the subject: "Then do you have any follow-up plans over there?" The question of the "sun" ??????"

"What can be the plan? Throw this big ball of stone back into the sky? Re-inlay it on the sun's rune ring? Lucretia shrugged, "I'm afraid only the Old Kingdom of Crete knows how to restore the sun in the sky." ”

Tirien stopped talking.

Lucrecia was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Does Father know about my 'research' here?" ”

"I didn't tell him," Tyrion shook his head, "I wouldn't have said much without asking for your opinion?????? How? Do you want to ask him for help? ”

Lucrecia hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be really moved, but soon she shook her head: "I'll think about it again - this kind of thing, my father may not be able to help much, and ?????? Well, I'm just a little scared of him. ”

"Actually, he's really good at talking now," Tirien laughed, "but since you're not happy, then I won't interfere, but say it in advance, I won't say anything, maybe when the news will reach his ears, after all, he has a connection with the church and the city-state, and if he is really interested then, then I dare not stop him." ”

Lucrecia waved her hands irritably, this "sea witch" with a mysterious aura shrouded in the eyes of outsiders has never hidden her emotions in front of her family: "I know, I know-don't talk about this, when will the spirit lens I mentioned before be given to me?" ”

Tyrion: "......"

Two seconds later, Lucrecia's disgruntled cry shrieked from the crystal ball, "You forgot again?!?! ”

"Tirien, you don't look very good."

Early in the morning, Duncan arrived at Southport, and couldn't help but say something after seeing the slight tiredness on Tirian's face. Tirion rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly, "There's been so much to worry about lately. ”

He didn't say that there was a lot to worry about lately, and it was clear that it took a lot more effort to manage a city-state than it did to manage a fleet, but then again?????? Being recited by my sister for two hours is obviously a factor that cannot be ignored.

However, Tirion quickly bypassed this slightly awkward topic, and instead of mentioning Lucrecia, he straightened his expression: "I called you so early today to tell you that the submersible is ready." ”

Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "So fast? ”

"A lot of the preparation can be sped up after considering that the occupants don't need to breathe," Tirion nodded, "and the submersible that the previous Frost Government secretly built was based on the blueprints of the Queen's Age, and while there are many improvements, the basic principles have not changed much, and it is actually a simple matter if you just want to figure out how to operate it." ”

Duncan looked at Tirian for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, "Very well, take me there." ”

"You want to start right away?" Tyrion was a little surprised, "We can do some more tests, I asked you to come over today just to let you see ????? for yourself" Duncan interrupted, "You guys should have done some testing, right?" ”

“?????? A little bit," Tirion hesitated, "After completing the system verification, I arranged for two undead sailors to make a short dive of dozens of meters last night, mainly to confirm the operation process and working status of the submersible, but there were no problems????.."

"That's enough," Duncan nodded, turning and walking towards the warehouse leading to the underground facility, "I'll do the rest of the testing process myself, and I'll do the actual diving anyway." Tyrion was stunned for a moment, and could only hurry to follow Duncan's footsteps, and on the way to the facility, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

I don't know if it's an illusion?????? He always felt that his father today seemed to be a little preoccupied, and this urgency was not the same as before.

It was as if he had suddenly sensed some clue or touched some huge secret, and a rush to uncover the mystery and explore the truth drove him. And this look of hurry?????? It gave Tirion a vague sense of familiarity.

The burly figure in the black coat walked quickly in front, and Tirion also walked quickly, desperately following behind. The latter looked at the former's back, and in the midst of this follow-up, he suddenly became aware of the source of this familiarity

It's like years ago.

When clues to some ancient ruins are found, when a brand new route appears on the charts, when news of frontier areas, mysterious visions suddenly reaches the civilized world, my father will do that. This is what he looks like as he prepares for a long voyage.

Memories of a long time drifting back uncontrollably from the depths of his mind, the scenes of his father's sailing after him came back to his eyes, and Tirion's steps subconsciously slowed down in the overlapping images. Duncan paused, turning his head to look at the side quizzically.

"Tyrion, what are you doing - follow up."

Tirion was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed as he hurriedly walked, "Ah?????? Oh, good father! Duncan turned and walked on, not paying much attention to Tirian's reaction.

Because a sense of urgency to explore the world came up again, urging him constantly.

This sense of urgency stems from the harvest he gained from his exploration of the brass key yesterday, and from the sudden revelation of the mystery of this world.

The massive spaceship that crashed into this world in a lost time, the creation of an ancient civilization called a "blasphemous archetype" from a hidden history, a deep mystery that even a university scholar like Morris has not touched. There are too many unknown things, and the occasional clues make people more aware of the mysteries of this world, like layers of curtains.

Therefore, any opportunity to explore the truth of the world is invaluable. Explorers deserve to be.
