Deep Sea Embers Chapter 422: What I see in the dark

"The Embers of the Deep"

How did that key get to the first consul?

This is the question that Agatha is most concerned about at the moment—because no matter in which historical record, whether it is from the perspective of the queen's supporters or the current city-state authorities, the rebellion or rebellion half a century ago The descriptions are consistent on one point, that is, there are irreconcilable contradictions between the Frost Queen and the rebel army.

The two sides are enemies, and there is no possibility of any understanding or cooperation, let alone any inheritance relationship-so Lei, why did Queen Nora's key go to the city-state consul? And Winston also called it a curse and a gift?

Through quick thinking, Agatha lowered her head and looked into Winston's eyes: There is another truth about the uprising back then—could it be an agreement between the Queen of Frost and the rebel army...

It's not such a dramatic turn, lady gatekeeper, although it does sound like a good story - a mad city-state ruler and a rebel leader sympathize with each other, and achieve power through a big uprising that can end the chaos of the previous dynasty And the transfer of responsibility, the screenwriters and writers will like this theme, but unfortunately, there is no such warmth in real history.

The great uprising is inevitable. The tear between the Mad Queen and the Frost subjects is irreparable. She was once great, but her failure in the Abyss plan has pushed the city-state to the brink of collapse. The queen raised her troops for the survival of more people, and there was no room for peaceful dialogue between them from the very beginning.

But you are right about one thing, there is indeed a kind of tacit understanding between the queen and the rebel army,

The queen knew that her overthrow was inevitable, and the rebel army also knew that the queen's crazy behavior was not just "insanity, it's as simple as that, she must have many secrets."

So, on the night before the execution, the leader of the rebel army, that is, the first consul, found the imprisoned queen, and he wanted to find out what the queen was hiding.

Then, the queen gave him the key and told him that as long as the execution was over and her life was over, the person holding the key would naturally know everything.

Winston stopped, with a mocking and helpless expression on his face. He lowered his head and stared at the brass key in his hand. After a long time, he smiled wryly and said: You know the last sentence she said to the leader of the rebel army What is the word? The history books of later generations have never described this, and only the consuls of the past dynasties knew this sentence.

I tried my best, and if you think you can do it, it’s okay, then it’s your turn now—this is what she said after the first consul took over the key.

…all choices have a price. After hearing this unknown history, Agatha sighed softly.

Ms. Gatekeeper, Winston raised his head suddenly, with a strange smile, and lifted up the brass key. Would you like to try it? Take the key and take a look at the scenery that Le Nora once saw?

Suddenly, Agatha hesitated. She stared at the key that Winston handed over, and felt her already slow heart beating again. A low pressure spread from the key, as if It condensed half a century of darkness and malice—however, after a few seconds of silence and hesitation, she still took a light breath, and stretched out her hand towards the key.

A slightly cold touch came from the fingertips.

In the next second, countless phantoms suddenly emerged from the boundless darkness, and chaotic fragments of light and shadow swept in like a storm, filling Agatha's sanity, and in this crazy information fragment During this time, scenes of visions began to flash in her mind——

In the endless dark deep sea, some kind of huge and terrifying dark limbs are slowly growing and growing;

The ancient and chilling gaze looks at the city-state from the deep sea, scanning all living beings indifferently like an indescribable ancient god;

Dark and terrifying substances overflow and rise from the deep sea, turning them into replicas of the real world. During the transformation of reality and reality, those substances sometimes turn into shadows, sometimes into entities, and the boundless deep sea is densely packed with chaos Dirty figure looking up at the city-state with empty eyes;

And in a more distant place, in a darker and deeper seabed, in the whole world, in the whole boundless sea, there are hundreds of thousands

Under the city-state, there are shadows, as if the old world has sunk in the boundless darkness, and the abominations are growing from the ancient corpses, constantly rising, constantly rising...

And in the depths of these countless scenes of phantoms, Agatha can always feel a certain kind of gaze. It is not a gaze, not any kind of will with a clear source. She feels as if she is being stared at by time itself. It seemed that something older than history, bigger than city-states, something that even seemed to come from the deepest part of the world... was watching him.

There was no emotion in the gaze, no malice or kindness, he just watched, like a soulless shell watching an uninvited guest who ignorantly broke into the truth, and said indifferently——

Oh, here you come.

Boom!

Agatha felt a rumble in the depths of her consciousness, and the only remaining reason made her desperately rise up in the countless layers of phantoms, and in the process, her perception and thinking were suppressed to the limit——she I can feel that there is more information, more thought fragments surrounding her, which may even contain the will or words left by Queen Le Nora, but she can neither see nor understand.

By the time she regained control of this body again, all the illusions were over. She opened her eyes in the darkness and chaos, and saw that Winston Consul was still in front of her eyes, and she even kept giving herself a hand. Come the last gesture of the brass key—only a second seemed to pass.

I have returned to this weird creeping dark space... Wait, no, something has changed!

Agatha suddenly noticed the strange change in her field of vision, raised her head in horror, and looked around her.

The darkness in all directions seems to have receded a lot compared to the beginning, and those black invisible objects slowly wriggling and deforming in the darkness seem to be gradually agglomerating and transforming into entities. I also saw many things that spread out of the surrounding space out of thin air—they looked like dry tree branches, but their scale densely filled the entire space. The flash walks between them, like...

Express capsules being transported quickly in steam pipes.

And in the depths of this complicated tree network like a thornbush, through the layers of phantoms, Agatha saw a huge... limb.

It is a sturdy limb like a tentacle arm. Its huge scale is like a giant pillar supporting the sky and the earth. The surface of the giant pillar is covered with dark blue lines. Eye.

Spiritual pollution? phantom? Crazy borderline?

Countless thoughts flashed through Agatha's mind. She closed her eyes immediately, but found that the giant pillar supporting the sky and the earth was still in her field of vision. She tried to pray to the **** of death and stabilize herself with magic. The will, but found that his mind was clear and showed no signs of erosion at all.

After several quick emergency measures failed, she realized one thing——

I am not crazy, but in a clear and rational situation, I saw a scene that I don't know where it is, and I don't know if it is real.

She stood there in this majestic and terrifying landscape ~IndoMTL.com~ as if she lost her mind, until the voice of the consul Winston pulled her back: Oh, it looks like you saw it.

The middle-aged consul spoke, slowly raised his head, and sighed softly: It's spectacular, isn't it?

Agatha hesitated and lowered her head, only to realize that what Winston was leaning on was not a tree stump at all—it was actually part of the surrounding massive tree branch structure, an end extending from the tree branch, and There is also a faint black structure on its upper part, spreading all the way to the deepest part of this weird space.

This... these branches...

This is the thinking of the ancient gods, and this is how it manifests in the vision of us mortals, Winston said lightly, it is only the first time you have touched the key, and there are very few things you can see , but I have been with this key day and night for more than ten years... what it tells me is far beyond your imagination.

As if falling into a dream, Agatha slowly understood Winston's words, and subconsciously repeated: The ancient god... thinking?

Isn't it incredible? These twig-like things do not really exist. What you see is probably just a thought flashed by the gods at a certain moment, and this thought is strongly imprinted here, turning into the huge world you see in your eyes. Structure—oh, don't try to decipher something out of it, don't try to understand the laws of how those flashes pass, you'll go crazy.

Agatha suddenly turned her head: Someone went crazy because of this?

Yes, Winston laughed, have you forgotten? Her name is Ray Nora...

Agatha was speechless for a while, and after a few seconds, she spoke softly: Then...'What is that thing other than the thornbush?

It is the Lord of the Deep, Winston said lightly, it is a small part of him, the part that penetrates the city-state.
