Deep Sea Embers

Chapter 796 The day when the waves calm down

He shook his head vigorously, trying to expel the cognitive confusion from his mind.

He felt that everything on the sea was normal, but he clearly remembered that it should not be like this. After struggling with the contradiction between thinking and cognition for a long time, he couldn't help but break the silence: ...the waves disappeared.

...Then he turned his head and looked at the tall figure standing next to him: Father, is something a little wrong?

Duncan didn't speak for a while, but Aiden, who was standing on the other side, looked at his captain in confusion: Wave? Something's wrong? What are you talking about?

Hearing Aiden's voice, Tirian felt dazed again. He raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, looking at the sea in the distance with confused eyes. He felt that something was rapidly changing from his awareness. It is a natural phenomenon, something that should exist in the world as a matter of course, but now... it is disappearing.

Then, he heard his father's voice reaching his ears——

She forgot about the waves.

My father said this in a low and solemn tone.

The daze in his mind finally faded away. The moment he heard his father mention the word "wave", Tirian finally felt like he was awake again. The next second, the expression on his face changed from confusion to shock.

He stared at the sea in the distance with his eyes widened.

Even Aiden next to him seemed to suddenly wake up. This fierce-looking bald man looked towards the boundless sea, and there was even a look of panic on his face.

At this moment, all over the world, the vast sea became a mirror - the waves disappeared into the world.

Father, Tirian finally reacted and suddenly turned his head to look at Duncan, the Storm Goddess...

Rot, Duncan interrupted Tirian softly, the inevitable outcome.

Tirian and Aiden stood stiffly.

Don't worry, she is still there. Although the process of decay is deepening, the sea is still there, and she is still there. Duncan shook his head, and his voice woke Tirian up. This is just one of the deepening processes of decay.' Peeling off', and this kind of 'peeling off' is not the first time for this world.

Tirian was stunned and subconsciously repeated: Isn't this the first time?

Do you know how many intelligent races there are in the world? Duncan asked suddenly.

Of course three... Tirian replied almost without thinking.

But the next second, the Iron Lieutenant General seemed to understand something. Although he didn't think of anything, he guessed the pitiful and terrifying... meaning behind his father's question.

Soon, you will also forget the sound of waves crashing on the rocks, and the world will 'correct' all this, but before that, you can briefly remember its past 'existence'. Duncan said softly, then stretched out his hand and patted Tirian hard on the shoulder.

Don't mention the word 'wave' to anyone else, it's an 'archetypal blasphemy' from now on.

Taran Ayre laughed. He took a deep breath in the cool night wind and seemed to feel a little relaxed. Then he raised his head and looked in a certain direction at the end of the coast.

They were carefully selected by me, Ted Leal said. The coastal area is only a general blockade area. If it is in the Big Steam Core or a first-level containment area, even the Archon and I must show our IDs to verify our identity before we can pass. .

Taran El hummed, and then fell silent again. He walked slowly like this, and it took an unknown amount of time before he spoke again: They still have no news?

It has been a month since the Lost Home and the Glorious Star crossed the border. Now we can only confirm that they still 'exist', Ted Leal said calmly. Captain Duncan stayed in Pland and the Incarnation of Frost is still active, Occasionally, some information about the Homeless Ship would come from those two city-states, but in most cases, news related to the 'End of the World' was not allowed to spread between the city-states.

Although it was not appropriate to say this, Ted Leal slowed down unknowingly, with a strange expression on his face, but there were not one or two people on the two ships who were truly 'alive'. Guy.

Taran El rolled his eyes: So I put quotation marks around the word 'alive', can't you hear it?

Ted Reard immediately glared at the scholar: ...How could you possibly hear this? !

The dutiful night watchman finally noticed the figure following Taran, and in the glow of the lantern, he was surprised to see the face of Ted Leal.

We went for a walk on the coast, Ted Leal gave a slight nod to the defenders and returned within the hour.

...You can pass, but this gentleman needs to show his pass. The knowledge guard hesitated for a moment, but still looked at Taran El sternly. He cannot pass without the pass.

He paused and shook his head slightly: Even I can only find out so much.

...It's good to know that they are still 'alive', Taran El said softly. Knowing that they are still 'alive' and still operating on the border, I can feel better.

Taran El and Ted Leal passed the guard post and walked slowly forward on this dead beach. Neither of them spoke for a while.

Now this place has also become a closed area. It took an unknown amount of time before Taran El broke the silence. The guards here are very responsible.

Guards with stern faces guard all the roads leading to the coast. They hold lanterns and swords and watch vigilantly at the endless night outside the city-state.

The coast has been blocked, and a heavily armed knowledge guard blocked Taran El. He shined a lantern on the face of the great scholar, carefully confirming the shape of the latter's facial features and the number of eyes. It is very dangerous outside now... Keep the secret Your Excellency?

Thanks. Ted Leal said to the night watchman, stepping forward.

But when the two of them were about to pass the guard post, the guard couldn't help but speak: ...Your Excellency the Keeper of the Secret, and Professor Taran, the sun fragments have left, and the coast is now a blockade. What's over there? None, what are you going to do?

...Just think of it as confirming the changes in the coastal area after the sun fragments left, Taran Ayre said as he walked forward slowly, we will be back soon.

I am Taran Ayre, a professor at the college. I have a second-level right of night passage. Taran Ayre hurriedly reached out and groped in his arms and found the pass document that he had always kept on his body. The access scope includes the coastal area...

The knowledge guard took Taran El's ID and checked it carefully. His tense expression relaxed a little. He took two steps back to indicate passage.

After the mighty cargo fleet left, the dock area seemed much quieter than ever at night - all large loading and unloading equipment had been shut down, and irrelevant personnel had evacuated the operation area. Now, except for the necessary duty teams, , only the ubiquitous gas lamps lined both sides of the road, keeping vigil over the city.

Going down from the ramp on the south side of the pier and passing through a long set of steps, there is a coast covered with fine sand in front of you. On those days when the sun is still shining, there are always citizens taking a rest here.

But now there is only a dead beach and a sea that is dark in the night. The salty and cold sea breeze blows from the direction of the boundless darkness, as if mixed with suspicious whimpering, and the breaking waves hit the coast far away. The rocks here are filled with undulating foam from time to time, and the cold light of the creation of the world reflects the pale color of corpses.
