Chapter 695: An Unprecedented Situation
When the bell rang, Vanna had just finished her evening prayer on deck—she had come to the hallway, about to return to her room, only to see Maurice who had also hurried to the hallway.
With just a glance, she guessed something from the serious expression on Morris's face.
"You also heard the call of the 'Swift Bell'?"
"Yes, it seems you heard that," Morris nodded, "the bell has been ringing for the third time—I'm about to go to the psionic resonance ceremony." ”
“…… But it's still the Deep Sea Church's rotation," Vanna's eyes widened slightly when she heard this, "How did you hear the bell?" ”
Morris exhaled softly, "I don't know, so it's necessary to go to the rally to find out what's going on...... It seems that this time there has been an unprecedented situation. ”
Looking at the slightly solemn expression on the old scholar's face, Vana thought of a series of disturbing things that had happened recently, and then she nodded silently, and the two passed by, returning to their rooms.
The gentle sound of the waves echoed in her ears, and the feeling of being submerged in the sea gradually enveloped herself, and Fanna, who hurriedly returned to her room to perform the ceremony, watched the candlestick burn and expand in front of her eyes, and the beating fire turned into a hazy light and shadow, and her slightly restless mood gradually calmed down with the sound of the waves.
After a brief period of dizziness and sensory reset, she opened her eyes again, and found that she had arrived at the sacred and ancient "assembly hall" in the form of soul projections—majestic and solemn stone pillars stood at the end of the huge square, the shadows of chaos and darkness and the never-ending streamer shrouded the stone pillars, and the earth was covered with mottled and broken ancient stone slabs, and in this huge assembly hall, there were souls of the saints who had gathered here in a hurry.
Vanna stood in the corner of the plaza in some astonishment, staring at countless figures in all directions—she had never seen so many soul projections appear in the assembly hall at the same time, and there was no doubt that they could not all be Storm Goddess saints.
Mr. Morris was apparently not the only "fantastic believer" who heard the bell during the rotation of the Deep Sea Church.
The saints of the four major churches are all gathered!
The number of people is still increasing, and more and more soul projections appear in the open space of the square, many of which seem to have arrived in a hurry - although it is indeed the rotation period of the Deep Sea Church, every saint who received the "Swift Bell" did not hesitate to carry out the iron rules agreed upon by the Church of the Four Gods, and responded quickly after the bell rang to come to this assembly venue.
The bewildered soul projections gathered to discuss the unusual situation, and Vanna's figure walked among her compatriots, listening to the discussion of those around her as she walked towards the center of the square.
A hazy figure walked over from the side and greeted her: "Vanna! I'm looking for you – what the hell is going on? ”
Following the prestige, Vanna immediately recognized that this was the soul projection of Bishop Valentine, she greeted the other party, and then shook her head: "I don't know, but it seems that all the qualified 'saints' of the four major churches have heard the bell of the convocation...... Mr. Morris should have been in the room as well. ”
“…… The bell of the bell was emitted by the Ark of Pilgrimage, but its source came from the 'point' of the Tomb of the Nameless King, and all the saints were summoned, and the only explanation was that the Tomb of the Nameless King took the initiative to release a strong signal of 'summoning everyone'......" Bishop Valentine's tone was solemn, he turned his head and stared at the center of the square, which was still empty, before he withdrew his gaze, "This ancient covenant ritual has been running steadily for thousands of years, and this has never happened. ”
“…… Maybe it has something to do with the recent 'sun goes out', and some kind of big change is approaching......" Vanna whispered, and then she suddenly sensed something and looked up.
Another hazy but familiar figure appeared in her field of vision.
It was a projection of Morris's soul.
Vanna immediately walked towards the other party, and before she could get closer, she heard the other person speak: "It seems that the situation is the same as I thought, and I am not the only one who hears the bell." ”
"Yes, it seems that all the saints have come...... Maybe we should sigh, but fortunately this place is spacious enough," Vanna exhaled, and said in a subtle tone, "The main body of the 'mausoleum' has not yet appeared, and when it appears...... I don't know what kind of things will be announced to the outside world. ”
Maurice didn't say anything, just nodded solemnly, and after greeting Bishop Valentine, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he turned his head with Vanna to look in the direction of the center of the square.
And at this moment, four special figures appeared in the field of vision of many saints one after another.
Helena, Rune, Banster, Frem—the spokesmen of the four gods entered the assembly hall, and their clear figures stood out among the countless hazy and illusory soul projections.
The presence of the four popes caused a brief commotion at the scene, but soon the commotion subsided, and the saints restored order and quickly settled down with the presence of their respective leaders.
Today's situation is extraordinary, and many of the saints who heard the bell were a little confused, but in any case, the presence of the leaders was a reassuring sign that the situation was still under the control of the Church.
Then, Vanna noticed that the four Popes were walking directly towards her.
Her expression suddenly became a little subtle.
In the gaze and greeting of many eyes around, Helena and Lune and other four people came to Fanna, and Helena was the first to speak: "Hasn't the mausoleum appeared yet?" ”
Vanna was a little stunned: "Huh...... Not ...... yet"
"Alright," Helena nodded, "then we'll wait a little longer." ”
Vanna didn't react, so she nodded confusedly: "...... Well, good. ”
Then the four popes really turned around and began to wait patiently with Vanna for the appearance of the ancient and mysterious mausoleum.
Vana felt a little delicate in her mood, she felt that the old Mr. Morris next to her seemed to be casting a somewhat puzzled gaze, but she didn't know how to explain the matter, so she could only smile awkwardly - she didn't know if Morris could see her somewhat complicated smile in this hazy and vague soul projection form at this moment.
At this moment, another extraordinarily tall figure came to Fanna's side at some point, and patted the inquisitor lady's shoulder casually: "Do you need to wait for a long time?" ”
Vanna didn't look back, and naturally replied casually, "Not sure, but usually the mausoleum will be ...... within a few minutes after all the saints arrive at the venue."
She stopped suddenly.
There seemed to be a moment of silence around.
Banster and Frem's expressions froze a little, Helena and Rune slowly turned their heads stiffly, and Vana turned to the side a little and looked in the direction where the voice came from—
Duncan stood there, looking at several acquaintances in front of him with a harmless (self-perceived) expression.
After a moment of silence, Fanna finally broke the silence with an exclamation: "Captain?!" Why are you here!? ”
The exclamation was like a stone falling into the water, and the brief silence in the assembly hall instantly turned into a boiling that spread violently—there were exclamations one after another from all around, and there were explosive discussions, and many souls retreated in astonishment, and tension, vigilance, and consternation spread in the blink of an eye, permeating the crowd.
Expected situation.
Duncan glanced back at the movement in the square, turned his head and spread his hands helplessly: "Frankly, I didn't expect so many people at first. ”
Vana felt that her brain was a little insufficient, and several popes present had already reacted quickly, and they immediately shouted in unison—
"Silence!"
There was a great power released from their words—the will of Helena, Rune, Banster, and Frem swept through the assembly hall, Duncan didn't know what they had done, but he could feel that the surrounding "crowd" who had been in chaos a second ago seemed to understand and comprehend the situation in an instant, and although there was still unease flowing in the air, order had been restored to the assembly hall.
After order was restored in the assembly hall, Helena was the first to turn her head and stare into Duncan's eyes: "How did you get here?" ”
Duncan thought for a moment, then raised his hand and waved it lightly in the air beside him.
A giant bird of bones wrapped in dark green flames flashed through the darkness.
"I came by pigeons."
Helena: "......? ”
"I heard the bells," Duncan added, noticing the wonderful, subtle expressions on the faces of the popes, after a moment's thought, "don't ask me why—I heard the bells when they rang." Then I noticed the convergence of spirits, probably because the four pilgrimage arks happened to be in the Breeze, and this 'convergence' was very obvious to me, like the lights in the night...... It just so happened that I had always been interested in your 'gathering', so I gave it a try, mainly trying to track down Vanna's soul starlight, and I ended up here. ”
Helena was dumbfounded: "...... Is that okay?! ”
Duncan thought about it seriously and nodded, "I think it's okay." ”
Helena: "......"
Vanna seemed to be used to this, and after Duncan said "I think it's okay", she took the situation in front of her for granted (mainly because the sports students are adaptable to the environment) and casually said, "What do you think about today's special situation?" ”
"I don't know," Duncan said very calmly, "I'm here for the first time. What do you usually do after a meeting? Is there a process? ”
"Wait for Vision 004 - The Tomb of the Nameless King to appear," Frem's deep voice sounded from the side, he seemed to be in a calm and calm state for all time, even at this time, "and then, a grave keeper will appear, and the chosen one will be ushered into the tomb. ”
Duncan listened with interest and nodded slowly.
And as if to confirm Frem's words, at this moment, a low roar finally sounded from the center of the square, interrupting everyone's communication!
