Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 785 News from the North

Duncan turned and left the deck.

The scene was quiet for a while. Fanna turned around and looked at the large and small black islands in the distance with some trance. She didn't make a sound for a long time.

what's on your mind? Morris asked beside her.

Since I was very young, I would often hear the sound of waves in my dreams. The waves in my dreams hit the rocks softly and gently, Vanna said softly, and after completing her studies in the church, I learned how to pray. During prayer, I can always hear the sound of the waves... (The original text of the storm) says that it is the sound coming from the Kingdom of God.

She stopped, and after a moment of silence, she raised her hand and pointed to the calm and dead sea in the distance: But listen, there is actually no sound of waves here. The sea is so calm, as quiet as dead, with only ships sailing. Sometimes, the water surface will make some noise.

The gentle sound of the waves rang in her mind, as if it was soothing her.

These are the sounds in God's memory. Fanna was silent for a moment and whispered, saying that she had not seen the undulating sea surface for many, many years - she had almost forgotten what the waves looked like when the wind blew them up.

Morris didn't speak, but slowly put the unlit pipe in his mouth, and stayed by Vanna's side calmly.

In the captain's bedroom, Alice looked curiously at the uniquely shaped brass key.

I have a new key! With a surprised look in her eyes, her tone sounded quite happy. She took the key from Duncan and looked at it over and over again. The structure of the handle was different. The previous one was a lying 8, and this one was penetrated by an arrow. Circle? What does this circle mean?

"Probably refers to the external barrier surrounding the boundless sea," Duncan said casually, and looked helplessly at the heartless puppet in front of him. Can't you feel a little nervous? No one knows what will happen when the key is turned.

Alice tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and felt that she should be nervous.

It seems...yeah, she scratched her head, her tone was a little unsure, she was a little nervous, but no matter what happens, you can definitely handle it, right?

Duncan was startled when he heard this, sighed helplessly, and then laughed.

Yes, he picked up the new key and nodded slightly to Miss Doll, just give it to me.

That's right, Heidi. Her mother nodded, with a doting smile on her face. Guess why the Steel Lieutenant General's first step in establishing a city-state union was to first establish an army under his own control. Combined fleet?

A hint of realization finally appeared on Heidi's face - she was a respected psychiatrist and an excellent scholar of the Academy of Truth, but she was obviously a bit slow to react outside her professional field, but even so, she understood at this time come over. 8

Heidi, we should celebrate. After it has been dark for so long, something good is finally going to happen. With a smile on her face, her mother slowly got up and walked to the kitchen and said, I will make some special dishes. You can cook them. Bring out those bottles of fine wine your father keeps - he won't mind if we open one. 12

Heidi was dumbfounded:…

Mother turned back in front of the kitchen with a victorious expression on her face: Do I still know him?

There has been a sudden change, Heidi said about the news she heard when she went to the city hall, so now the northern city-states are actually taking turns to have daylight, and large engineering ships pulling sun fragments are cruising on the cold sea, and each small sun is maintaining The security of city-states...

Speaking of this, she paused and then continued: And in this way, the once-stopped shipping activities between city-states have also been restarted. Cargo ships can set off together with the engineering ships that tow sun debris, although the overall efficiency is lower than before. , but at least the logistics operations between city-states were restored. ... She stopped, thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart: It's really amazing... It seems that the Iron Lieutenant General is not an immortal who executes a reign of terror as some rumors say. king of men

Rumors are rarely credible. Don’t forget, the Homeless Ship is still looking for hope for us at the end of the world. My mother is doing needlework with a smile on her face. You just heard about it from the city hall. Condition?

Oh...oh, Heidi subconsciously agreed and got up, but then she suddenly remembered something, ah, but her father has stopped drinking, and all his wine collection has been given away.

In the basement, there is a wooden box next to the white shelf. It looks like it only has one floor, but there is a raised wooden block from the side that can be pulled open. There is a mezzanine, my mother said casually. In addition, there is a box stool behind the shelf in the deepest part of the basement. There are also five bottles of wine, you can pick one and bring it up.

The mother thought for a while and suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question: It is said that the church's fleet docked at the military port west of Puland two days ago?

Yes, the Abyss of the Deep Sea Church and the Logic of the Academy of Truth were leading their respective escort formations. Heidi nodded and said they were stopping on the way to patrol the safety of the sea area.

Heidi put down the newspaper in her hand and looked up at her mother sitting by the candlestick. The generator in the city had been repaired, and now the bright electric light illuminated the living room again, but her mother still let her put a candlestick in the living room. , and ensure that at least one candle is lit at all times.

Now no city-state in the north is allowed to own sun fragments for a long time. The Sunshine Distribution Committee’s rotation of those fragments between city-states will prevent some places from being in darkness for a long time.

Heidi was stunned for a moment, she seemed not to have thought about it that much.

This is a good way to survive, and nowadays, as long as you can survive in the night, you can make the city-state managers take action-these news can reach your ears, which means that this matter has at least been The consuls were halfway through their advance, and my mother said casually, with some relief in her tone. The city-state in the north had made a good start... The steel lieutenant general showed us a feasible way, and As this news spreads, other sea city-states must consider this plan, no matter what they think privately.

What if the city-states that have obtained the sun fragments are unwilling to cooperate? Heidi understood what her mother meant, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all... not everyone is so selfless.

There are not so many details in the newspaper. Heidi pointed to the newspaper on the table. I heard from someone in the secretary’s office that the details about the Northern City-State Federation and the Sunshine Distribution Committee were not disclosed in the newspaper, but they were not confidential. .

Mother thought for a moment and then spoke slowly: Really... Then it seems that we will soon have our own city-state union and sunshine distribution committee.

It is said that in the distant and cold Cold Sea, an organization called the Northern City-State Federation is being established in the night.

The legendary Lieutenant General of Steel led his undead army to dominate the night, taking control of the situation before the tension accumulated between city-states due to lack of sunlight exceeded the limit. Cold Harbor and Port Murphys were the initial supporters. , and made a covenant under the witness of the Sea Mist.

Now, a powerful combined fleet has been established to protect the safety of those city-states with insufficient sunlight in the increasingly dangerous and twisted night. The Sunshine Distribution Committee jointly established by various city-states and churches is closely monitoring those who have fallen on the planet. Shards of the sun at sea to ensure that the afterglow of these apocalypses can illuminate the darkest places of the long night in time.
