Deep Sea Embers.

Chapter 508 The Popes of the Four Gods
When the storm comes, mortals will run away because of the roar of the thunder-but the thunder itself does not care about the attitude of the mortals, its roar is only due to its own existence, just like the existence of the Lost Country, itself is enough Interfering with the order of the entire boundless sea.

Under this premise, it seems meaningless to consider whether that "Captain Duncan" would care about being regarded as a heretic by the mortal church. Thinking about it, the image of Lost Homeland itself in the eyes of the civilized world does not seem to be much better than "heretical"...

"I will discuss this matter with Popes Helena, Banster and Fram," Luen said to Morris. "There will definitely be voices of doubt and panic among the bishops, but the four of us Attitudes should soon be unified - regardless of the source, at least the 'warning' itself needs to be taken seriously."

"I knew you would look at it rationally," Morris said with a hint of relaxation in his voice, "You are still the same as before."

"You are very different from the past, Maurice," Lu En sighed in his tone, "When I heard that you had fallen into a trough, many people sighed because of it, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly, and even more I didn't expect you to cheer up...it turned out to be a member of the Lost Home. To be honest, there are very few things that have shocked me in the past thousands of years, and this is the most shocking thing to me. "

"Life on the ship is actually pretty good—it can even be said to be better than in the city-state. Although life on the sea brings some troubles, here, I see new things almost every day and deal with various things that I have never heard of before... ..."

"You sound like a 'crew' who is proud of your ship now," Luen couldn't help but said, "I'm really curious, what are you doing on that ship?"

Morris was silent for half a minute.

Many things came to his mind—teaching lessons for deep demons, cursed dolls, and demon contractors, sailing in the spirit world, eating deep-sea children, reading books with the sun fragments, and watching the latter burn all kinds of things from books every day. Heretic filth that ran out...

"...Active and healthy academic research." Morris said seriously.

"Oh, it sounds very good," Lu En nodded, but he couldn't help reminding, "But I still want to say, you should be more vigilant, maybe as you said, that 'Captain Duncan' has really regained his strength." Human nature, but as a mortal, living on the Lost Home and getting along with a subspace shadow day and night is a dangerous thing in itself, you should be cautious about touching all unknown things to avoid affecting your spirit and cognition..."

"Thank you for your reminder, teacher, but don't worry, you know that I have always been a cautious student—even when I was conducting the most dangerous research in the academy, I would definitely be fully prepared, never There have been accidents."

Rune, who had already returned to his seat behind the desk, fell silent upon hearing this.

But the elf old man couldn't help recalling the time when Morris was studying in the Academy of Truth many years ago.

Cautious... There are indeed many cautious students in the academy, but everyone's understanding of this word is not so similar.

There is a kind of student who will immediately try to isolate and seal the books when they see dangerous classics, and avoid touching them far away. This is called caution.

There is also a kind of student who immediately pours half a catty of mixed potions into himself when he comes into contact with forbidden knowledge, hangs amulets all over his body, and then prepares three pistols of the largest caliber—they also call this prudence.

The second type of students has a high chance of sudden death, but as long as they survive, they will often have high achievements. The most outstanding legendary scholars in the School of Truth are often like this.

But even the most legendary group of people, none of them can reach the height of running on the Lost Homelander to chat and laugh happily with a warp god.

After a long silence, the old elf behind the desk finally broke the silence softly: "Morris..."

"Teacher, tell me."

"...you are doing great things."

"Thank you for your expectation."

"No, what I mean is, if one day you make too much trouble, you must tell me in advance, I will help if I can, and if I can't help, I can run early."

"..."

The connection established by psychic communication was broken, and the resonance between thinking and perception also receded like a tide. Lu En narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the departure of his former apprentice until he confirmed that Morris's consciousness was safe. After leaving the psychic channel, he was completely relaxed.

And a faint, eerie noise that seemed to be whispered by countless people still lingered in his mind, and it took a long time before it gradually dissipated.

Feeling the impact of the noise on his own mind, Rune couldn't help sighing softly.

"...Permanent madness critical, but still maintain a clear mind... This is really an incredible situation. Is this also the influence exerted by the 'captain'?"

Talking softly to himself, this old elf who was perhaps the most knowledgeable among mortals shook his head, and then sat quietly at the desk, as if waiting for someone to visit.

He didn't have to wait long.

The illusory and fuzzy sound of sea waves suddenly appeared in his mind, and gradually merged into clear and continuous waves, followed by calls of flames and death. Rune sighed during these calls, and then glanced at the table next to him, which was still reacting The alchemy container, after confirming that there were enough remaining substances in the container, he gradually sank his mind——

This study room is the "sacrifice ground" where he held the psychic communication ceremony. All the simple and solemn bookshelves, classics and alchemy devices on the desk here are the items needed to perform the ceremony.

Darkness surged, and then dispersed like fog. At the end of the deep and dark passage, the figures of the three popes of the deep sea, death, and fire bearer emerged.

Lu En walked through the passage and came to the three old friends. He greeted them with a slight nod, and said before they opened their mouths: "It seems that you have also received the news."

"Banster and I have received letters from our saints," Helena, the Pope of the Deep Sea, said, pointing to the silent and tall figure opposite her, "Frem just arrived, we just got in time Tell him the general situation."

The tall figure called Fram nodded slightly.

He is the leader of the fire bearers, the endorsement of the eternal burning flame "Tarijin" in the world. From the appearance, he may be the most striking one among the four popes - an unusually tall body, as gray and tough as a rock His skin and the metallic texture on its surface indicated his race.

He is a strong Sen'jin man, wearing a dark gold robe representing the identity of the Pope of the Firebearer. He has short gray hair and a sharp-edged face. He looks taciturn and extremely serious.

For some time in the past, the pope, the flame spreader, has been patrolling the borders of the civilized world with his own patrol fleet, rarely participating in gatherings between the four, and this is the first time he has recently appeared.

"I haven't fully understood the situation yet," Fram said, his voice so low that it sounded like it came from a stone, "I haven't had any saints abducted to that ship yet."

Helena next to her frowned strangely when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Our saints were not kidnapped..."

"They came into contact with Captain Duncan, they were wary of Captain Duncan, they agreed with Captain Duncan, they joined Captain Duncan," Frame glanced at Helena, his expression still like a stone, "I think it was abducted. "

Helena: "..."

Seeing this, Banster, the tall, thin and old-faced Death Pope, coughed lightly twice: "It's not the first day you know Fram, he's always been like this."

"...Okay." Helena was speechless for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Today we are not here to discuss the 'saints being abducted on board', what we are going to discuss is the warning from the Lost Home .”

Lu En raised his head: "Is there anything you want to ask?"

"Yes," Helena said immediately, her gaze fell on Luen, "I want to know what happened to those huge biological tissues under the city-state? From the description, it looks like it supports the church The 'Leviathan' beasts of the Ark...are they the same thing?"

"The four church arks were all built by the Academy of Truth, including the 'resurrection' and the technology to control Leviathan, which were also created by you," Banster immediately looked at Luen and said, "But you never revealed your Where did the 'corpses' of those 'Leviathans' be found, let alone the connection between those giant Leviathans and the underlying structure of the city-state... We have reason to believe that the Academy of Truth has some special 'dead bodies' the truth'."

Fram didn't speak, but kept his face like a stone sculpture, calmly staring into Luen's eyes.

However, in the face of these three stressful gazes, Lu En just spread his hands frankly.

"I don't know what is under the city-state."

"You don't know?" Helena opened her eyes slightly, "The Academy of Truth has 'resurrected' four Leviathans, but you say you don't know what's going on with the 'Leviathans' at the bottom of the city-state?"

However, Lu En just asked calmly: "The Storm Goddess Gomona is the Queen of Leviathan——as the favored person of the Storm Goddess, do you know more than me?"

Helena frowned, but didn't speak.

"I believe that you should have tried to ask the giant Leviathan that hosts the Cathedral of Storms, and it must not be able to give you any answers—because even they themselves don't know about their own species."

Lu En sighed and shook his head slightly.

"The history of our world has been shattered. Even giant beasts from ancient times cannot clearly recall the events before the Great Annihilation. Did you know that 'Captain Duncan' even gave this phenomenon a special mention? name……

"He called it -- the 'horizon limit' in the time dimension."
