Chapter 674: "The Fifth Ark"
In the boundless and chaotic darkness of space, the soul projections of Helena, Rune, Banster, and Frem are converging.
The four popes had completed all the pre-assembly communication, but they were still not dispersed—for the final guidance of the Divine Sense still baffled them.
Just now, when deciding on the location of the assembly, the four gods rarely lowered a strong signal at the same time, and although the "signal" was still mixed with a large and chaotic noise, the four pilgrimage arks were clearly excluded by the gods.
In the guidance of "Them", Helena and Lune are asked to go to the "Fifth Ark".
Helena lowered her head, in this dark space constructed by psionic resonance, a flame was burning illusory in her vision, she stared at the flame, and after a long time she spoke cautiously: "...... Fifth Ark ...... What do you guys come up with? ”
"What else?" Lune shook his head, "The answer is coming out, there is only one ship here that could potentially be called the 'Fifth Ark' apart from the four Church Arks. ”
“…… Frankly, for the first time in my life, I was a little skeptical of the outcome of the oracle," Banst hesitated for several seconds, and finally looked up to the other three and said, "We did agree to invite the captain, but set this vital gathering on 'the ship'?" This was not planned, and the Lord's will this time seemed a bit ...... Strange, don't you think? We haven't heard such a clear and strong voice in years......"
"It's 'theirs' urging, Banster," Frem said in a deep, calm voice, "we all know that time is running out—and 'theirs' certainly do. ”
Helena glanced sideways at Banster, "You don't still mind the fleeting thing, do you?" ”
"Of course not," Banst shook his head at once, "it's been all these years, and I don't care too much about that ship, I'm just a little cautious...... Of course, these are just some of my personal thoughts, and it does not change the message we have received - the revelation about the 'Fifth Ark' has been conveyed by divine will, and there is really no other choice. ”
In the dark space, the four popes fell silent in unison.
Helena lowered her head again, staring intently at the illusory flame burning in her field of vision—she knew that she had the same caution and even misgivings in her heart as Banster, only she chose to trust the Storm Goddess's guidance more unconditionally.
In this silent and long gaze, she seemed to see the illusory flame in her vision gradually rise and spread silently, the undulating fire seemed to turn into a gentle sea, the tide rose and fell before her eyes, and a large and ancient illusion was gradually coming towards her from the tide.
The illusion of the Storm Goddess emerged from the darkness, and a larger, more indescribable "reality" floated behind the Goddess, and the intertwined and overlapping presence gently extended her hand to Helena, who felt a plurality, cold touch touch her soul, wrapped around her mind, whispering in her ear—
"While the time is still ......"
The illusion of the tide receded, and the gentle sound of the waves dissipated from my ears.
"Let's get ready," Helena looked up at the others calmly, "to inform the bishops who are going to join us at the assembly, to inform the people on duty on the Ark, to tell them about the 'Fifth Ark,' everyone needs to be mentally prepared - but also tell them that there is only a limited amount of time to prepare." ”
"Also, don't forget to educate them about 'that ship,'" Luan reminded him again, "it's not the same as the familiar church ship, and I don't want anyone to have an embarrassing misunderstanding when they get on that ship." ”
"It's not popular, there are too many evil things on that ship, and Vana will tell me some unbelievable new information every now and then," Helena waved her hand, "Tell the people who are going to participate in the rally directly, no matter what they see on that ship, even if they see someone putting their head in a pot to cook, don't make a noise, just treat it as a natural phenomenon." ”
"We'd better get in touch with the captain before we talk about that," added Frem, who had not spoken much, "and we have chosen his ship as a meeting place on our own initiative, without consulting our master." ”
Rune nodded, "Of course." In addition, it is necessary to arrange the boarding process and the transfer of personnel, and the meeting process may also need to be adjusted urgently...... If the meeting place was set outside the four pilgrimage arks, many things would not have been the same as planned. ”
"That's a lot of things...... Helena sighed a little tiredly, waved her hand before she could finish speaking, and her figure gradually disappeared into the darkness, "I'll contact my own saints first......
"I'm going to talk to my own students too." Rune then said, and the figure dissipated.
Soon only Benster and Frem were left in the dark space.
"See you in the reality dimension." Like a rock giant, Frem waved his hand, turned and disappeared into the darkness.
Banst shrugged.
"I really didn't care...... Why doesn't anyone believe it......"
……
"What?! Are they coming on this ship? Those popes and bishops?! In the captain's room of the Lost Land, the goathead, who was originally busy chatting with his other head, saw Duncan, who had returned suddenly, and was obviously startled after hearing the news brought by the other party, "Did they take the wrong medicine?" ”
"Don't look at me, I'm surprised," Duncan said casually, glancing at the goat's head, "but the news has been confirmed, and it's even the 'Will of the Four Gods' - the four Arks of Pilgrimage have been ruled out, and the final meeting place has been chosen for the 'Fifth Ark'." ”
He paused, his expression a little subtle: "The Lost Country is the 'Fifth Ark'. ”
“…… Aha, the last preacher said that the Lost Country was the 'Ark of Promise', and now the group of believers in the four gods have given us the name of the 'Fifth Ark', and the famous Lost Country has now become a good place......" The goat's head shook his head, and his tone was obviously a little mocking, "If they continue like this, I'm afraid they won't say that you are a good person, are you so scolding......"
Duncan: "......"
After holding it for two or three seconds, he finally couldn't hold back: "I advised you to pay more attention to your three views, and finally found a part of the 'essence' that belongs to Saxoka, and your appearance makes it difficult for me to connect you with the 'creator' of the second long night." ”
"Didn't I do that," the goat's head sulked, "and the one who has become is not much better—the 'Holy Lord' is still stuck in the passage of the deep sea and subspace, listening to the description of Ah Dog, it looks like being stuck on the toilet......"
Duncan felt like he couldn't communicate with this goathead anymore - why was the sand content of this thing suddenly so high?
"Don't think I'm talking badly, I just think it's a little weird," Goathead probably noticed the subtlety of the captain's expression, and couldn't help but add a few words to the side, "Those crazy last preachers just think of the Lost Country as some kind of 'Ark of Promise', but now those four gods who are in a very suspicious state suddenly have some 'divine will', and say that the Lost Country is the 'Fifth Ark' in addition to the four Pilgrimage Arks...... Something is wrong with that. ”
The goat's head muttered, and then turned his head on the pedestal, his eyes looking at Duncan earnestly.
"'Ark', the word has a special meaning in the infinite sea, there are only four arks recognized by the world, except for four church ships, any ship that pretends to call 'ark' is heretical, and now the Lost Country has suddenly been called the 'Fifth Ark', I always feel that they are going to push the Lost Country into danger...... Of course, it seems that we have been solving various crisis situations all this time......"
Listening to the goat's head's chatter, Duncan's expression didn't change much, but he waited for the other party's voice to fall before he casually asked: "The 'they' in your mouth refer to the four major churches, or the 'four gods' behind them?" ”
The goat's head was stunned for a moment: "...... Is there a difference? The four major churches are the executors of the will of the four gods, and in layman's terms, they are doglegs......"
"There's a difference," Duncan shook his head, "if you're referring to the four major churches, then they probably don't have the skills to push the Lost to the Lost to risk - and if you're referring to the 'four gods' behind the churches, then I'm very interested in them, and if the arrangement of the 'Fifth Ark' is that the four gods want to do something, that's great." ”
The goat's head was speechless: "......"
However, Duncan was suddenly a little curious at this time, and he looked the goat's head up and down: "Aren't you interested?" As the former 'King of Dreams', after retrieving some of Saskocka's memories, aren't you curious about your 'colleagues' back then? ”
"Not at all," Goathead thought for a moment, shaking his head from side to side, "I haven't retrieved this memory from the Great Annihilation to the Deep Sea Age, so the so-called 'kings' is just a completely foreign concept to me...... Maybe it's a pity, but I don't regret it. ”
Duncan gave the goat head a serious look, and said nothing.
He came to the nautical table and sat down in a chair.
"I have brought Nina and Maurice back to the ship, and as 'witnesses' who witnessed the annihilation, they will also be present at this rally.
"I accepted the invitation of the Church of the Four Gods, and now the ship is on its way to the appointed location near Breeze, where the Bright Star will join us, and Lucrecia will take a group of her minions aboard to assist us in preparing for the assembly.
"Hurry up, let's go to the appointment."
