Deep Sea Embers.

Chapter 561 Two Questions
Now, that group of "matter" that was once alive has completely turned into a group of solidified metal.

To harmlessly dispose of "abnormal objects" that have been registered for containment requires a very complicated process, but this is just an ordinary job for Ted Leal, the keeper of the truth. He quickly They found the person in charge of the underground archives and made proper arrangements.

Although he was emotional and deeply moved by the past of the group of "living metal", as the protector of the city-state, he must handle this matter strictly in accordance with the safety rules-even if it was really a person who had tried The brave man who went to save the world, in today's deep-sea era, has also become an "extraordinary invader" that is likely to spread corruption and pollution. What will welcome this mass of matter will be the high temperature of the steam core reactor and a A set of strict purification, segmentation, crushing and storage procedures.

But think about it from another angle. In fact, this may not be a kind of burial. After all, ordinary people in this world also come here. The "corpse" should always be "handled" properly, and the dead must always make way for the living.

As for the long sword, as the only remaining material from "that world" in the end, it miraculously restored to the state when it was first born. It is obviously a highly valuable research sample.

Through it, scholars can build more understanding of that world - although everything has passed, this understanding and memory are meaningful after all.

"It's useless for me to keep it." Faced with Ted Lear's request, Duncan readily agreed, and he handed the long sword to the other party, with emotion in his tone, "Let smart people uncover more secrets behind it Well, if you find anything, I hope you can share it with me."

"Of course," Ted Lear took the sword in Duncan's hand very solemnly, then he hesitated, and then continued, "I will call the scholars of the Academy of Truth about what happened today and the information I have obtained. Let's discuss it, and if we run into new problems, we may still need your... help."

"No problem," Duncan naturally had no objection. He nodded and pointed at Lucretia beside him, "You can contact me through Lucy - if I think of something or discover something new, She will also tell you."

There are still many things that need to be explained and communicated. When the "limit of horizon" of the Great Annihilation suddenly reveals a crack in front of mortals, what will follow is bound to be a huge impact on the academic world, and the Church of the Four Gods will also Subsequently, they paid attention to and discussed this matter, and whether they were willing to accept it or not, the Lost Home and the owner of the Lost Home were already an unavoidable part of this matter.

As for Duncan, he didn't care about it, and from his perspective, there were actually some very critical and special problems in the information he just obtained that Lucretia and Ted Leal didn't notice. Even temporarily incomprehensible.

For example, the position of the "crimson" and its performance against common sense.

If the information he saw in the memory fragments was true, and if the "Templar"'s explanation of the "Warrior" was correct, then the location of the "red light" that led to the destruction of the world should be in the universe. In space - it may be a huge astronomical phenomenon across the Milky Way, a band of light appearing in the background of the starry sky.

And there is a problem: the planet rotates. At least judging from the scenes seen in the memory fragments, the hometown of the "warrior" also has normal sunrises and sunsets, and the stars rotate.

Therefore, the "red light belt" located in the universe should theoretically move, rise and fall in the sky along with other stars.

But why is that "crimson" always in a specific position in the sky?

"Warrior" and his traveling companions have been looking for the place where the crimson falls, because in their eyes, the red light is always fixed at a specific position in the sky, which also led to them not realizing that the light did not actually fall. On the ground, but against a backdrop of stars.

The "templar knight" also mentioned this question at the end-in a sense, this is also the last and largest "astronomical discovery" during the existence of their civilization.

Duncan's guess about this is that the "ray of light" is no longer just some kind of entity visible to the naked eye. "Destruction" and "distortion" at the level.

That may be a tear at the dimensional level, or a deeper and more complex phenomenon.

However, Ted Lear and Lucrezia are still unable to realize this problem, and it may be difficult to understand this problem in a short time-they don't even understand the concept of planets.

This can only be done slowly. Even if Duncan is willing to explain now, it will take a long, long time to explain.

The second question is what is the concept of "world" in "world aggregation theory"?
Is each "world" a planet in the same universe, or is it a different "universe" from a broader perspective?
Duncan raised his head and glanced at Ted Lear, who was still thinking, and the long sword in his hand.

The two evidences of the "moon" and the "long sword" may be able to support most of the descriptions in the world aggregation theory, but they are not enough to determine what the "levels" of the "world fragments" that make up the "Boundless Sea" are. In a broad sense, every planet can be called a world, and every universe... can also be called a world.

To Duncan, the distinction is important.

But this is also a problem that the "Keeper of Truth" and "Witch of the Sea" cannot understand and perceive at present-Duncan can't think of how to explain these concepts to them in a short time.

In addition, the secret of the "crimson light" itself is certainly more worthy of attention - this is not the first time that Duncan has "seen" that ominous light.

In the vision of the crash of the New Hope, the red light appeared on the oil paintings in Alice's mansion.

What the hell is that thing?
Lucrecia noticed Duncan's long silence and the constant changes in the other's expression as he was thinking.

She was a little worried: "Father, is there anything wrong?"

"...I have a lot of questions and need to go back and sort them out." Duncan woke up from his meditation temporarily and shook his head gently, "Go back first. When I think about it, I will discuss it with you."

Lucrezia still looked a little worried, but she realized from Duncan's attitude that this might be another "difficult to explain" problem.

This was the first tacit understanding she had re-established with her father in these short few days of getting along.

So she just nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"We should go," Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Nina and Shirley, who were still somewhat uneasy, and then his eyes fell on Ted Lear, "Send us away."

The keeper nodded, and summoned the "gate" from the book again, then walked through the gate with Duncan and others, and returned to the academy near the crown block.

"I will make some arrangements when I go back." Before saying goodbye, Ted Lear glanced at Nina and Shirley standing beside Duncan, "You and your followers will not be disturbed when you are in the city. But the corresponding..."

"Don't worry, there won't be any trouble," Duncan said proactively without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, with a friendly smile on his face, "We are all people who abide by the law and value the security of the city."

The "Keeper of Truth" in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment.

Even Lucretia next to her was stunned for a moment.

Apparently neither of them believed it.

But soon, Ted Leal controlled the change of expression on his face, and he smiled stiffly and politely: "That... is best."

Then he paused and added very sincerely: "Let's get together again when we have time. Although you may not remember me, I still look forward to chatting with you about those...incredible 'knowledge'. "

Duncan laughed: "Many people dare not talk about 'knowledge' with me. It is rare to see someone as brave as you. Well, then I look forward to it."

Lucrecia looked at her father, and then at the "Keeper of Truth" opposite.

Miss Witch suddenly felt a little emotional.

It seems that teaching and educating people is indeed a very difficult thing. This secret keeper would rather chat with his father about the subspace than face the students in the graduating class...

After saying goodbye briefly, Duncan took Nina and Shirley, and left the academy facility with Lucrezia.

They returned to the "Witch's House" at 99 Crown Street.

"You can arrange it yourself, I'll go upstairs to rest first - there's nothing special, don't bother me."

Duncan gave such a simple order, then rubbed Nina and Shirley's hair, and walked up the stairs leading to the second floor.

After a while, Shirley, who was in a daze, turned her head and whispered to Nina: "The captain is not in a good mood..."

"I don't think I can describe it in terms of whether I'm in a good mood..." Nina hesitated for a moment, and also muttered her opinion in a low voice, "Uncle Duncan has a lot of things on his mind—but in fact, he's in a much better state today than he was a few days ago. It's not so gloomy, it just seems like there's a lot to think about."

Shirley tried her best to think about it, then cautiously raised her head to look at Lucrezia who was thinking about something next to her, leaned over to Nina and whispered, "I don't seem to understand what the captain said."

"Actually, I don't understand it very well," Nina said with a bit of embarrassment in her tone, "That may be something that only people at the academic level can understand..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucrezia on the side suddenly broke the silence: "Don't mind, even great scholars can't fully understand them."

Nina and Shirley were taken aback at the same time, and they looked at this lady witch in a daze.

Lucrezia shook her head at them with a very serious expression.

"They are all 'knowledge' from the subspace, but they have been 'processed' by my father and are less harmful - but it is still not something that ordinary people can easily understand."
