Deep Sea Embers.

Chapter 506 Doomsday Echo
Qingfeng Harbor, one of the cities closest to the border of civilization among the city-states, has been the most important stronghold of the Academy of Truth and the Explorers' Association since its establishment.

Thousands of years ago, an expedition fleet led by an elf scholar strayed near the border due to a storm, and found this big island that was not in any data during the process of searching for a route.

According to records, the fleet was chased by the storm for seven days. In the morning of the eighth day when everyone was exhausted, the land suddenly appeared in the sunshine between the storms. The coast was getting closer, and when they approached this strange island, the strength of the storm suddenly weakened. When the fleet members could clearly see the lush vegetation on the island, the storm had completely dissipated, and only the breeze remained in the offshore area—— So the explorers named the big island after "Breeze," which later became the name of the new colony.

Many city-states were discovered by explorers during their wanderings on the sea, and these discoveries will be accompanied by more or less thrilling stories or legends. The legends are true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. The process of discovery and construction has always been considered "detailed and reliable"-the reason is simple, because this is the city-state established by the elves.

The explorer captain who discovered the island is now the consul of the city-state—and concurrently serves as the president of the Explorers' Association.

Sarah Meyer stood on the terrace of the mansion, looking at the street bathed in "sunshine" in the distance, looking at the city-state that he and his colleagues had gradually established and prospered to this day, patrolling Steam walkers are marching across the street, bicycle bells are ringing crisply, citizens are preparing to start their day's work, and on the "tower" not far away, the elf-style dome is slowly moving under the drive of mechanical devices. Open, the heavy filter lens group rises from the top of the tower, slowly adjusting the angle, tracking the sun that is gradually rising into the sky.

The elf archon narrowed his eyes slightly, and wrinkles accumulated at the corners of his eyes.

Even with the elf's longevity, Sarah Meyer is no longer young. Wrinkles have gradually climbed up his forehead since 300 years ago. The elf's iconic blond hair is now stained with hoarfrost. The exuberant expedition captain becomes a staid but debilitated old man, but one thing remains the same - he's still curious about the world.

"Your father was a respectable explorer back then. Even by the strict standards of elves, he can be described as 'extraordinary'. Of course, such an explorer's warning to the civilized world is worthy of attention. , but I hope you understand - our concerns are justified."

Sarah Meyer turned around and said to the black-haired lady who was sitting dignifiedly at the tea table on the terrace.

"Of course I understand, but my task is just to convey the news, how to deal with it is your business," Lucrezia said indifferently, "Father also thought about your possible reactions, and his attitude is the same-proposed Warning, nothing else."

"...The Explorers' Association, I will come forward. In any case, the news from Captain Duncan is information worthy of attention. It should make the captains on the route more vigilant," said Consul Sarah, and then he Frowning, "But I'm really curious... With a spherical submersible, can you really dive into the deep sea and see the 'original blueprint' of our world?"

"The risk is high, but the Frost Man has indeed succeeded," Lucrezia nodded, "Of course, the pioneers half a century ago paid a heavy price for this—mortal minds are too fragile after all, It is impossible to completely avoid the influence of those 'truths' in the deep sea, my father is... more or less special, I do not recommend you to imitate."

"...If I were seven or eight hundred years younger, I'm afraid I've really started to plan my dive plan at this time." Sara was silent for a few seconds, shaking her head with some regret, "If I can witness those scenes with my own eyes , I must be more confident in convincing other people in the association."

Lucrezia showed a smile on her face: "It's okay, more people will receive warnings soon - Father has arranged to send warnings to the Church of the Four Gods and various city-states, presumably this is enough to show the seriousness of the matter. "

Sarah Meyer nodded, then he hesitated, but couldn't help but say: "I'm still very curious... Ms. Lucrecia, your father has really fully recovered his humanity? I'm already alive For more than 2000 years, it has never been heard that someone can return from the subspace, and even restore humanity after returning... How did he do it?"

"Who knows?" Lucrezia shook her head, "If you're really curious, you can ask him face to face - anyway, he will come in person soon."

Sarah Meyer's calm and calm face twitched visibly to the naked eye.

"Ma'am, you don't need to emphasize this news again..." the elf consul said in a strange tone, "This is not good for the heart—please be kind to the elderly."

Lucrezia laughed, looking quite happy - she felt that she had experienced Tirian's happiness, so she stood up contentedly and waved to Consul Sarah.

In the next second, the figure of the "Sea Witch" suddenly turned into scattered pieces of colored paper, whirled and was swept into the air by a gust of wind, and disappeared on the terrace.

"This 'witch' is really free to come and go..." Sara Meyer couldn't help but grumbled, turned around and was about to return to the room—then it's time to consider contacting the Explorers' Associations of other city-states, and how to Delivered that dire "warning".

However, at the moment of turning around, the action of the city-state consul suddenly stopped.

It was as if a wind of fear suddenly blew across the boundary of consciousness, and unspeakable horror and despair surged in her heart. Sarah Meyer felt that this "emotion" seemed to be injected directly into her mind, and she clenched her hands in an instant. Stuck his mind, made his blood cold and his muscles tense!

He raised his head with difficulty, and looked towards a direction that seemed to be deeply rooted in his mind and felt a strong sense of traction. He looked towards the center of the city-state, towards those tall buildings——

However, he did not see the city-state he was familiar with, nor did he see any other familiar scenery.

There was only a glare of flames, and a huge tree, so huge that it couldn't even see its boundary, like a huge mountain range, burning at the end of his vision!
The giant tree is like the world tree "Silantis" that once existed in the ancient legends of the elves, but it is far more magnificent and amazing than what poets and scholars imagined. It seems to cover the entire mountain range and plain , and sheltered a kingdom in the shade of trees, it was bigger than any city-state or island that Sarah Meyer had ever seen, and the land under the giant tree was so vast that he could not imagine——

However, all of this was shrouded in doomsday-like flames.

The crimson flames were devouring everything, burning the giant tree and the forest around the giant tree into ashes, and some kind of huge flashes that seemed to be releasing energy continued to shoot out from the edge of the flame, igniting the air and tearing apart the sky.

Following those weird huge flashes, Sarah Meyer raised her eyes with difficulty.

He finally found the source of the flames that devoured everything.

It's the sky——the entire sky is glowing with terrifying hot light, swelling and glowing like a steam core reactor that is about to melt out of control, and in the midst of the constantly swelling light, you can see some kind of dark red The ominous color is gradually seeping in.

Afterwards, those dark reds began to spread rapidly until they swallowed up the fiery light of the sky, and the whole world was shrouded in a terrifying, dark red dusk. The heat of the sky receded, but everything on the earth was already It was completely burned in the flames, the forest was turned into scorched earth, and the giant tree that looked like a miracle also collapsed in the embers, sending out a roar of heaven and earth.

The dark red sky is getting darker, and some kind of black streaks are diffused little by little. Time seems to have passed for a long time, or it may only be for a moment. Sarah Meyer saw that the night was falling, and there was a strange dark red mixed in the darkness. The night sky covered the world that had turned into scorched earth. In this extremely short "tranquility", he seemed to hear someone talking in his ear.

Those were a few unfamiliar voices——

"...I still remember them, I remember their appearance..."

"Memory can come in handy...we have a plan..."

"A sanctuary, or a lingering cage—the future is grim."

"But at least there's a future..."

Sarah Meyer looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the sound, but only saw that the world was burned and everything was annihilated. Then, the dark red and ominous night sky began to shatter, and chaotic lights and shadows "flowed" in from the cracks in the sky. The ashes and wreckage on the earth were assimilated and decomposed by the light and shadow in an instant, everything was disappearing rapidly, and a strong, unknown thought roared in his mind, it was as if millions of thoughts were speaking at the same time ,resonance:

Torn doom.

Sarah Meyer swayed a little.

Something was receding like a tide, and the remaining violent emotions and terrifying impressions in his mind melted like snowflakes in the sun. One second ago, he felt as if he had seen something, or even strongly remembered something, and the next For a second, he felt that he was just in a daze, in a trance for a moment.

Those things disappeared, like dreams dissipating in the morning.

Sarah Meyer stood there, frowned subconsciously, and looked back at the direction where the "Sea Witch" had disappeared just now.

"This 'witch' really comes and goes freely..."

Sarah Meyer couldn't help grunting, turned and went back to the room.
