Deep Sea Embers Chapter 372: Deep Trek
On the way back to the cathedral, Agatha was preoccupied.
It is good news for her to clarify the correctness of the exploration direction of "Second Waterway". However, the identity of the mysterious existence is still shrouded in mystery, which makes her feel uneasy no matter what. ——Of course, it can be confirmed that that existence has a friendly attitude towards the Frost City-State, but as the leader of the defenders of this City-State, she must look at things in the long run.
It is not unreasonable for any high-ranking transcendent to watch the world. In a sense, their "watching" itself is a disturbance with substantial influence. What is the mysterious "visitor" going to do? How long have you been staring at this place? What kind of long-term effect will his long stay here have on Frost?
Will the people living in the city-state change under this influence? Does the being himself know this effect? Or....don't care about it?
The small steam core let out a deep and powerful roar. The vehicle driven by the mechanical mechanism drove through the ancient streets of the city-state. The scenery on both sides of the road gradually receded in the peripheral vision of the vision.
The voice of the subordinate came from the front seat: "My lord, do you want to go directly to the cathedral?"
Agatha raised her head, looked through the car window, and looked in the direction of the cathedral.
The Great Cathedral of Silence overlooked the entire city-state silently as usual.
In the center of the frost is a mountain, a roughly conical mountain, towering high in the city-state's hinterland, beneath it is the boiling gold mine that brings endless wealth to the city, and the Great Cathedral of Silence and the City Hall are located there The top of a mountain - two large buildings stand side by side on the highest point of the city-state, no matter where they are in the city, they can be seen.
See at least one of them.
The cathedral is majestic and majestic, and it looks quite holy against the background of the sky. The city hall opposite it is actually a rather magnificent building-in the Queen's era half a century ago, it was actually a palace. According to According to official records, its name is "Winter King's Court", but more people will directly call it the Queen's Palace.
In the era when it was considered taboo, the Winter King's Court and the Great Sept of Silence overlooked the city-state like a pair of twins, and the classical stories full of fantasy depicted them as two guardian forces with symbolic meaning- -The church guards the night of the city, and the royal family guards the day of the city. The two sides support and support each other.
But in fact, the situation is similar today. The earthly power represented by the City Hall still guards the city--only the queen's time is over.
Agatha was a little distracted. She unconsciously stared at the mountain, the mountain she had seen countless times, and the two buildings on the mountain like a crown. She saw them as two The giant beast standing on the top of the mountain, and the large and small houses and factories along the mountain are like the blood overflowing from the giant beast, winding along the mountain.
She felt her eyeballs sting a little.
"Gatekeeper, are we going back to the cathedral?"
The voices of her subordinates came from the front row again, and Agatha suddenly woke up from her distraction. Naruto quietly disappeared together with the memory of the moment just now.
"No, go to the sewage treatment center first." Agatha shook her head, "The 'fake' that disappeared in the laundry room is really worrying, I have to confirm it with my own eyes. "
"Yes."
The steam core hummed happily again, the car turned a beautiful arc at the intersection, and drove on the road to the sewage treatment center.
The sky is covered with thick clouds, and the dim light of the sky floats weakly in the clouds, making it appear chaotic and unclear. In the distance is the endless sea water and some mist floating on the sea.
Lawrence stood on the bow of the White Oak, frowning and looking at the distant scenery——this scenery has not changed for a long time.
He turned his head again, and saw that the sea in the other direction was only a boundless sea, and he could not see other ships, let alone a certain city-state.
The cold wind blows across the deck, curling the hem of the clothes and the white hair at the sideburns, Lauren
Si's brows have not been stretched for a long time.
"How long have we been away from Frost?" He suddenly turned his head and asked the first officer standing beside him.
"It's been a day and a night, captain," said the first mate immediately, "we've been keeping full speed."
"Something's not right...why do I always feel like I'm still spinning in place..." Lawrence looked up solemnly, looked up at the chaotic sky above, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, "Wireless telegrams can receive Is there a signal from a nearby city-state or port?"
"Yes," the first officer nodded, with a serious expression on his face, "but there are and only signs of Frost."
Lawrence took a light breath: "What about the content?"
"Welcome message," the first mate said slowly, "The port is open, welcome to Frost, I have received this message over and over again."
Lawrence frowned and remained silent, while the first mate muttered after a moment of silence: "It's as if...we are still circling the frost."
"Obviously, we are trapped in this sea area," Lawrence said in a low voice, "how is the atmosphere on board now?"
"Everyone has already noticed that something is wrong, but everyone is still calm." The first officer glanced back at the direction of the deck, and he could see some sailors busy with their own affairs at their posts, "It's all good. ——It’s not that we haven’t experienced strange things in the boundless sea, but everyone believes that you can take everyone out, so no one bothers you.”
Lawrence didn't speak, but raised his head and looked at the chaotic sky again.
The chief mate noticed the strange action of the captain, and couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?"
"I..." Lawrence rubbed his forehead, feeling a little dazed in his mind for some reason, as if he had forgotten something important, "I'm thinking about the course."
"Heading?"
"Yes, heading," Lawrence forcefully closed his eyes and then opened them again, while thinking about what he had forgotten, he said as if talking to himself, "Do you feel that...we seem to have forgotten What? Our current heading... Should we calibrate it?"
The chief mate was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Calibrate the course? You mean the stargazing room? Over there with the navigator..."
"Wait, no, it's not the stargazing room," Lawrence suddenly interrupted the first mate, as if he was waking up from a long dream, "The stargazing room is used to calibrate the course under special circumstances , because it is polluted, it cannot be used frequently, there should be a simpler, more versatile, and safer method, to confirm the direction of the ship during the day, there should be such a method..."
Lawrence spoke faster and faster, and then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the direction of the captain's cabin.
The first mate was at a loss, but still instinctively followed the captain's footsteps. He followed Lawrence back to the captain's cabin, and then saw the latter rummaging through the room, and finally couldn't help saying: "What are you doing? What are you looking for?"
"Some kind of instrument, used during the day, to calibrate the course..." Lawrence said quickly while rummaging through his room, and a strong impression came back to his mind bit by bit, he He felt that he was about to remember and knew what he was looking for...Suddenly, his eyes fell on the table not far away.
A small instrument sits there, consisting of a telescope tube and some odd scales.
Lawrence walked over slowly, picked up the small instrument with some doubts, and struggled to recall its function.
A moment later, he thoughtfully took the small instrument and left the room, and came to the deck outside. Under the inexplicable gaze of the first officer, he raised the instrument, placed it in front of his eyes, and pointed it at the sky .
"Captain, what are you doing?" the first mate asked curiously.
Lawrence slowly put the instrument down.
There seemed to be a faint green flash in his eyes, but not only he himself didn't notice it, even the first officer standing opposite didn't notice it.
The old captain's face was full of confusion and astonishment - he confronted the first mate
Looked at it for a few seconds, then said slowly with a hoarse voice: "Do you remember... there is a glowing and hot thing in the sky, it floats above our heads accurately and on time, and it can be used to help the ship Calibrate heading during the day..."
The first mate slowly opened his eyes wide ~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that some memories or impressions are also awakening in his mind.
Lawrence turned his head again, looking at the chaotic cloud layer, and the hazy and dark background behind the cloud layer, the source of skylight could not be seen - the light seemed to spread evenly that day, and there was no clear and strong light body at all Signs of presence in the clouds.
He withdrew his gaze and looked straight at his first mate: "Where did the sun go?"
The first mate could only repeat the captain's words blankly: "Where is the sun? "
"It's not a trek, it's not a mystical lock, it's not a cyclic anomaly..." Lawrence muttered softly, "The White Oak as a whole has entered an abnormal space..."
The chief mate slowly raised his head, looking at the vast sea outside the ship, with dazed and frightened eyes.
But suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something.
A piece of land appeared on the sea.
It is a small island.
