Chapter 496: Duncan's Bold Idea
As the green flames lit up the cabin, the distant sound of the waves outside the cabin gradually seemed to come from an ethereal and hazy dream, and the secrets from the endless deep sea, from the dark and cold place, gradually seeped into everyone's mind like a creepy shadow.
The only refuge of mortals on the boundless seas is built on the corpses of unspeakable behemothsβwithered tentacles hanging from the bottom of the city-state, pale and terrifying eyeballs staring into the endless abyss;
All beings in the world are the children of the dark holy lord, the flesh and blood of the ancient gods have built everything in the world, what happened in the frost is not an invasion, but the awakening of the ancient gods from their own creation, the four gods are not necessarily stable rank existences, they also have the possibility of falling out of control, and a similar process of loss of control may have happened more than once in this world, the mortal world is now protected by the four gods, perhaps it is just because the gods who can still stay awake are only them.
The Frost Cataclysm will not be the last, and as the situation of the Nether Lord deteriorates further, and as the flaws in the Creation Blueprint continue to magnify over time, similar awakenings are likely to occur around the world.
The false replicas of the Old Gods will emerge from the depths of the sea, from the depths of the city-state, and even, from the body of every mortal!
In a calm and calm tone, Duncan told his followers everything he knew in the depths of the sea, and what he had deduced from the available information!
Then there was a long dead silence in the cabin!
Even Alice, who has a solid head, and Shirley, who has no heart and lungs, honestly quiet down and realize the seriousness of the problem!
After a long time, Vana was the first to break the silence, he took a deep breath, and the melancholy in his expression seemed to condense a dark cloud, if it weren't for you saying this, I would definitely have taken every word of this information as the crazy babbling of the last preacher.
Even the craziest Last-Word Preacher probably couldn't make up something of this calibre, Morris said slowly.
picked up the pipe and put it to his mouth, but found that the tobacco inside had been extinguished for some time, so he put it down with a wry smile.
"Ah, yes, Missionary of the End, one of the craziest things in the world is that one of those subspace believers can stay awake."
Tirien's brows tightened, and after a long silence, he finally couldn't help but raise his head: "Father, is this information true?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, but this stupid question was so necessary at this moment, and everyone sitting at the long table probably had this thought in their hearts!
At least that's what I've seen and heard, Duncan said lightly.
Of course, one-sided information can be misleading, and there can be multiple interpretations of even the most obvious clues!
In addition, the Queen of Frost does not necessarily tell the truth, and even if she does, he may make mistakes.
We can only deduce the possibility closest to the truth based on the information we have at this stage!
Is it the closest to the truth at this stage?
Tirien repeated the words in a low voice, then asked, "Did the Queen mention what the harbingers would be if the Old Gods awakened in other city-states, as was the case with Frost?" β
"Nope." Duncan shook his head.
"He can't confirm what this awakening mechanism is, maybe the only way is to go into the deep sea and directly confirm the state of the Dark Holy Lord's body."
The words fell, and several eyes at the scene instantly fell on Ah Gou, who was hiding in the corner with his head shrunk!
"Don't look at me." The dog jumped up almost instantly, his huge head whirring and shaking.
"It's not feasible, and I can't get close to the Holy Lord's attachment, let alone bring people in."
But you can open the way to the deep sea.
You can even run away with Shirley through the passage.
Duncan looked at the only ghostly demon on the scene seriously, you also said that the ghostly hound is a demon breed born near the Holy Lord, and your hometown is next to the Holy Lord.
At that time, the shallow passage could only pass from the very edge of the deep sea.
Specially used for running away.
Ah Gou saw that everyone was staring at him, and after hesitating for two seconds, he could only reveal these secrets and plates.
For many years, these secrets have been the hole cards that kept it and Shirley alive.
Deep sea, a place more complex and strange than you think.
It's not a monolith, and it's not contiguous between regions!
If you go shallow, you can look into the depths, but there is no suitable way, you will not be able to reach the destination in 10,000 years, where is the distance, and the movement is also an illusion.
I have been banished from the deep sea, although the specific principle is not clear, maybe because of the heart, since many years ago, I have not been able to open the passage to the Holy Lord, and on the other hand, I am also very unpopular with the villagers over there, even if it is just passing through the safety of the shallow area, it will attract countless demons to besiege.
And even if I put that aside, I can't just bring people over there.
The Shadow Demon can only carry his own contract symbiote through the passage, and I can only take Shirley, not anyone else's!
Ah the dog crackled and said such a lot, and then carefully observed the reaction of the people around him, especially Duncan, and shrunk his neck and added: "I'm not making excuses, captain, you heard it, there are indeed a lot of difficulties!" β
Duncan was not annoyed by the many difficulties that the dog was talking about, he just thought seriously for a while, and then said thoughtfully: "You mean, the space of the deep sea is not continuous? β
"That's probably what I can understand." Ah Gou thought for a moment and nodded.
"I don't know the specifics, I've been studying Professor Brondole's "Three Conjectures of Asymmetric Time and Space" recently, and when I'm done, I might be able to explain it to you more clearly."
Duncan didn't care about the second half of Ah Dog's words, he just continued to think about it and asked another question, "But I still remember when you mentioned that in the years when the Lost Country was completely out of control, it once smashed through the entire deep sea. β
Ah, the dog's expression (although its expression is very abstract) changed instantly, and the whole bone frame creaked and froze!
Duncan thought that the other party didn't remember, and casually added some details: "You said that it fell from the real world to the subspace and floated up from the subspace, passing through the worlds like repeated shocks, and each time it would smash through the entire spiritual world and the deep sea. β
In the process, is it equivalent to breaking through the spatial fault in the deep sea?
This time, not only Ah Gou's expression was abstract, but the expressions of everyone in the entire cabin were wonderful, and a sense of surprise enveloped everyone, even Lucrecia on the other side of the crystal ball.
"Ship, Captain"
The dog's broken gong throat finally made a sound, and every piece of its bone was trembling, don't say such a terrible thing! You don't really intend to do it again... Smash again!
"Father, please be careful, even Lucrecia, who has not spoken much and looks quite angry, couldn't help but break the silence, he looked at Duncan on the side of the crystal ball with a nervous face, as if he was afraid that his father would become that bloodless and tearless terrifying god again in the next second."
It's never a good idea to get the Lost Lost back to a runaway state to smash open the doors of the deep sea, even if it's a scientific research project!
That's a bit too aggressive!
Duncan didn't expect that his bold idea would cause such a big reaction from others, so he shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not going to do such an extreme test, I've always been a cautious person." β
Everyone was visibly relieved!
But then Duncan changed his tune and added, "But even from a cautious point of view, this old incident has given me an idea... There are certain properties of the Lost that can ignore the spatial faults in the deep sea, and I will do some research on this basis to see if I can open the door to that place when it is safe to do so. β
So the hearts of the people were suddenly raised again!
But at least this time, no one raised the same strong objections as before, only Maurice and Lucrecia, as scholars, once again emphasized the need for safety and caution, and judging by their attitudes, it was obvious that they were still worried that the captain would really smash the Lost Ship into the deep sea on a whim!
Fortunately... Duncan quickly moved on to the next topic!
In addition to the state of the Gloomy Holy Lord, there was another thing that I was more concerned about now, and it rubbed its chin on its moto, and said as it thought, "Those Ultimate Missionaries, strictly speaking, those Ultimate Missionaries who have reason and act in a completely opposite style to the cultists! β
It turned its head, and its gaze fell on Tirien!
"Did you mention to Vanna that there was a missionary from the Three Dawns who visited the Lost Country and talked to me all night?"
Tirien immediately bowed, his expression seemed a little embarrassed, "Yes, father, I couldn't confirm your status at that time, so I talked to Miss Vanna about some old things about you. β
"It's okay." Duncan waved his hand, "I can't remember a lot of things back then, so it's good that you remember." β
It quietly re-emphasized its amnesia due to the influence of subspace, and confirmed the change in Tirien and Lucrecia's expressions before continuing, "I want to say that I have a hunch that sooner or later we will deal with those sane end-of-life preachers. β
Morris subconsciously spoke: "Why do you judge like this? β
"Because they seem to be committed to engaging in something that has a profound impact."
Duncan adjusted his sitting posture and said slowly: "And the movement made by the Lost Country has become bigger and bigger!" β
