In the face of the power of the phrase "the witness of the four gods", Sarah Mel finally reluctantly agreed with Lucrecia's judgment.

Regardless of the essence of the starlight mentioned by the sea witch, and no matter what the true way of existence of Duncan Abnomar is today, at least, the leaders of the Ark of Pilgrimage, who can communicate directly with the four gods, have made the decision to "cooperate" with the Lost Land, then this decision itself is a very powerful "proof".

Or to put it more extremely, if even the judgments and instructions given by the four gods are wrong, then it doesn't matter whether the disaster is a disaster or not, and the "four gods are wrong" is the biggest disaster in itself.

"We don't know much about subspace, and all the laws of the real world can be subverted in that realm," Lucretia said, turning her head and looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows of her office, as if looking out at the distant sea, as if unhurriedly, "Lost from subspace" Returning to our real world, there will inevitably be a series of changes, you know, just a little bit of influence, the Bright Star and the Sea Mist have become what they are today, so what about the Lost Land that has been immersed in subspace for a century? What about my father?

"There are many things that should have been expected."

She withdrew her gaze from the window and turned her head to look quietly into Sarah Mayer's eyes.

"Frankly, I don't even care how much of his 'essence' is the original Duncan Abnomar - even if there is only one glimmer of that starlight that belongs to him, I am willing to greet him for that glimmer, as long as he is still on the 'mortal' side as a whole, and that is enough."

Listening to the witch's calm narration, Sarah Mayer's eyes changed several times, and finally came down to a sigh: "Yes, at least it's a friendly existence, it's much better than a real subspace ghost." ”

Lucrecia didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly.

"How's the Taran Scholar doing?" Sarah Mayer was silent for a moment before asking, "It is said that he is in a 'dream crisis', and that you and your father solved it together?" ”

"Yes, I was about to say that," Lucrecia immediately straightened her expression and said rather seriously, "The so-called 'dream' that Master Taran El fell into is probably more complicated than you think, and my father has confirmed some information related to those infidels......"

For the next ten minutes, she informed the Archon of everything she knew, including the purpose of annihilating the cultists and the Heir of the Sun she had seen in her dreams.

And then she mentions in passing the information from the city-state of Plande—about the fourth long night mentioned by the "Last Minister," and the "sermons" of the gods.

Sarah Mayer listened attentively with a serious expression, not interjecting from beginning to end.

It wasn't until Lucrecia's voice fell and the office was quiet for more than ten seconds that the archon, who had a wealth of life experience, nodded slowly.

"The Dream of the Nameless...... It's true that the elves don't have this word in their cultural system, but it really sounds reminiscent of the Demon God Sasloca's 'Creation Dream,'" Sarah Mel said thoughtfully, "but if such a vast 'dream' really exists, why hasn't anyone discovered its existence for thousands of years?" The pagans say that the elves are the 'gateway' to this dream, but as far as I know, nothing like Taran El has ever happened before. ”

"We've discussed this as well, and the most likely explanation is that the appearance of the Nameless Dream is also one of the signs and evidence of the approaching 'Fourth Long Night.'"

Sarah Mayer reacted immediately: "It means ......"

"The Nameless Dream may have only recently appeared, or 'manifested,'" Lucrecia said solemnly, "it may have been dormant or 'suppressed' so that no one was aware of its existence, but as the Fourth Long Night approached, it gradually became active......"

Sarah Mel didn't speak, his brow furrowed, and then slowly raised his head to look out the window at the bright sunlight - the "sun" locked by the double rune ring was passing the highest point in the sky, and it was soon afternoon.

It didn't take long for him to break the silence softly, but he was repeating the "sermons" of the last preacher as if he were talking to himself—

“…… Dusk is approaching, the sun is beginning to become 'mild,' and those who have been banished and erased begin to return to this world......"

……

At the gate, Nina carefully checked what she was wearing and what she was going to bring.

The southern city-state is much hotter than Prand, and even though it's cooler late autumn, she's wearing light clothes when she goes out — she wears one of her favorite dresses and her new light sandals.

The bag that went out of the house carried the keys, change, and maps, and as Ms. Lucrecia reminded, as well as incense pieces and potions to repel mosquitoes, it should be considered fully prepared.

Finally, there are friends to bring when you go out.

Nina turned her head and looked in Shirley's direction.

Shirley was still wearing her favorite dress, and was squatting on the ground buttoning the straps of her sandals at this time, and when she noticed the gaze coming from the side, she looked up: "What's wrong Nina?" ”

Nina laughed, "Have you figured out where you're going?" ”

Although the previous taste of "local specialties" was so shocked that the two girls even had the urge to go back to the boat for a while, in the end, Nina and Shirley still did not turn this urge into practice.

This is a rare docking trip on a long sea voyage, and in the end, it cannot be wasted.

"I don't know where to go," Shirley stood up and patted the dust off her skirt, "Didn't that elf uncle recommend that there's a market two blocks away?" Just go over there – I don't want to go to any of the 'food courts' anyway. ”

Nina nodded, and then glanced at the small bag on the other party's waist: "Have you brought mosquito repellent water?" There are more mosquitoes in this city than in Prand. ”

"Hmm," Shirley patted the bag on her waist, "Dog reminds me to come." ”

Nina showed a bright smile: "Okay, then let's go~"

The two girls walked down the steps in front of the door, but at that moment, the door behind them suddenly heard the sound of the door lock opening and the door shaft turning.

Shirley was excited, and when she turned around, she saw a tall and majestic figure standing at the door, and she suddenly became nervous.

"I ...... We want to go out for a walk......" Before Duncan could speak, Shirley had already panicked and took the initiative to speak, "I've already told Mr. Morris......"

"We're not going far," Nina smiled brightly, "and we're going to the nearby market." ”

"I know." Duncan only nodded faintly, and then walked up to the two girls, and his eyes fell on Shirley.

The latter curled his neck almost reflexively, and held it for several seconds before he cautiously spoke: "I...... Or I'm not going to ......."

"Take it." Duncan interrupted her, and handed over a few bills.

Shirley looked at the banknotes that had been delivered to her in a daze, and didn't react for a while.

"Aren't you going to the market?" Duncan's voice woke her out of her stupor, "Here's today's pocket money—don't spend it all at once." Nina's has already been given. ”

Shirley was still stunned, until the sound of a dog's reminder came in her head, she suddenly reacted, hesitantly took the banknotes that were not very large, and then turned her face and muttered as if she was going to transfer embarrassment: "I thought you were going to catch me and go back to my homework......"

Duncan didn't care about the other party's reaction, he looked at the two girls in front of him, and casually reminded: "Don't come back too late, try not to go to other cities, if you get lost, call me, I'll send Ay to pick you up......"

"Hey, I know," Nina waved her hand repeatedly, although her tone seemed impatient, the smile on her face was as bright as ever, and then she came over and grabbed Shirley's arm, and dragged the other party in the direction of the intersection, "Then let's go!" Will be back before the evening! ”

Shirley was dragged over in such a daze, and glanced back at Duncan in the middle, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, just suddenly smiled and waved her hand in this way when she was being pulled away by Nina.

Duncan watched the two girls disappear across the road, and after another moment, his gaze retracted and landed in the clearing not far away: "Back from City Hall?" ”

As his words fell, Lucrecia's figure suddenly appeared in the empty clearing—like a mirage turned into a real thing, she walked out of the phantom with a little surprise on her face: "So you have already discovered me?" ”

Duncan nodded: "I saw it at the beginning." ”

Lucrecia turned her head and looked in the direction Nina and Shirley had left.

At this moment, the expression on her face suddenly changed a little complicated, and there seemed to be a lot of thoughts fluctuating in the depths of her eyes - maybe mixed with past memories, or mixed with inexplicable emotion, but in the end, she gathered all the changes in her gaze, and when she turned her head to look at Duncan, there was only a faint smile on her face.

For some reason, Duncan suddenly felt as if the "witch" was in a better mood all of a sudden—very, very good kind.

"Taran El is gone?" Lucrecia asked suddenly.

"He left half an hour ago, and he said he couldn't rest assured of his research room," Duncan nodded, and then asked, "What did you talk to the Archon at City Hall?" ”

"The Church has issued a notice to every city-state, and your warning to the world is now beginning to bear fruit......"
