Confirming the correctness of this exploration direction was good news for her, but the identity of the mysterious being was still shrouded in mystery, which made her feel uneasy no matter what - of course, it was now certain that the being was very friendly to the Frost City-State, but as the leader of the guardians of this city-state, she had to look at things in the long term.
There is a reason why any superior transcendent pays attention to the mortal world. In a sense, they themselves are a disturbance with substantial influence. How long will the mysterious one continue to watch here? What long-term impact will his long stay here have on Frost
Will the people living in the city-state change under this influence? Does the being know about this influence? Or... does it not care about it
The small steam core let out a deep and powerful roar, and the mechanically driven vehicle drove through the ancient streets of the city-state. The scenery on both sides of the road gradually receded in the peripheral vision. The car passed another intersection and slowed down slightly.
The subordinate's voice came from the front driver's seat:
Agatha raised her head and looked through the car window in the direction of the cathedral.
The Cathedral of Silence quietly overlooked the entire city-state as usual.
The center of Frost is a mountain, a roughly cone-shaped mountain that towers over the heart of the city-state. Below it is the boiling gold mine that brings endless wealth to the city. The Cathedral of Silence and the City Hall are located on the top of the mountain - the two large buildings stand side by side at the highest point of the city-state, and they can be seen from every corner of the city.
See at least one of them.
The cathedral is majestic and solemn, and looks quite holy against the backdrop of the sky. The town hall opposite it is actually a very magnificent building. In the Queen's era half a century ago, it was actually a palace. According to formal records, its name was, but more people would directly call it the Queen's Palace.
In that era when everything was considered taboo, the Winter Court and the Great Cathedral of Silence overlooked the city-state like a pair of twins. The fantasy-filled classical stories portrayed them as two symbolic guardian forces - the church guarding the city at night, and the royal family guarding the city during the day, with the two sides supporting and supporting each other.
But in reality the situation is much the same today, and the earthly power represented by the City Hall still guards the city—it's just that the Queen's era is over.
Agatha was a little distracted. She stared at the mountain unconsciously, the mountain she had seen countless times, and the two crown-like buildings on the mountain. To her, they looked like two giant beasts standing on the top of the mountain, and the houses and factories of all sizes arranged along the mountain were like blood overflowing from the bodies of the giant beasts, winding along the mountain.
She felt a stinging pain in her eyeballs.
The voices of her subordinates came from the front row again, and Agatha was suddenly awakened from her distraction. She blinked her eyes and felt as if there was still a slight buzzing in her ears, but the next second, the remaining buzzing disappeared quietly along with the memory of the previous moment.
It's really worrying, I have to confirm it with my own eyes."
The steam core hummed happily again, and the car turned a beautiful arc at the intersection and drove onto the road to the sewage treatment center.
The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the dim light was floating weakly in the clouds, appearing chaotic and unclear. In the distance was the endless sea and a little mist floating on the sea.
Lawrence stood at the bow of the White Oak, gazing at the distant scenery with a frown - this scenery had not changed for a long time.
He turned around again and saw that the sea in the other direction was also just endless sea. There were no other ships in sight, let alone any trace of a city-state.
The cold wind blew across the deck, rolling the corners of clothes and the white hair on the temples.
Si's brows had not been relaxed for a long time.
He suddenly turned his head and asked the first mate standing next to him.
The first mate immediately said,
Lawrence looked up at the chaotic sky with a serious expression, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something.
The first mate nodded, his expression also looking quite serious.
Lawrence took a deep breath and asked, "What's the content?"
The first mate said slowly,
Lawrence frowned and remained silent. The first mate muttered in a low voice after a moment of silence:
Lawrence said in a low voice:
The first mate looked back at the deck and saw sailors busy with their own work at their respective posts.
Lawrence didn't say anything, but just raised his head and looked at the chaotic sky again.
The first mate noticed the captain's strange behavior and couldn't help asking:
Lawrence rubbed his forehead. He felt a little dazed for some reason, as if he had forgotten something very important.
Lawrence closed his eyes tightly and opened them again, thinking about what he had forgotten, and said as if talking to himself,
The first mate was stunned for a moment, then spoke subconsciously:
Lawrence spoke faster and faster, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned around and ran towards the captain's room.
The first mate was confused, but instinctively followed the captain's footsteps. He followed Lawrence back to the captain's room, and then saw the captain rummaging around in the room. Finally, he couldn't help but speak:
Lawrence spoke rapidly while rummaging through the drawers in his room, and a strong impression gradually revived in his mind. He felt that he was about to remember and know what he was looking for... Suddenly, his eyes fell on the table not far away.
A small instrument was placed there, consisting of a telescope tube and some strange scales.
Lawrence walked over slowly, picked up the small instrument with some confusion, and struggled to recall its function.
After a moment, he left the room thoughtfully with the small instrument and came to the deck outside. Under the puzzled gaze of the first mate, he raised the instrument, placed it in front of his eyes, and pointed it at the sky.
the first mate asked curiously.
Lawrence slowly put the instrument down.
There seemed to be a faint green flash in his eyes, but not only did he not notice it, but even the first mate standing opposite him did not notice it.
The old captain had a look of confusion and astonishment on his face.
After staring for a few seconds, he spoke slowly in a hoarse voice:
The first mate slowly opened his eyes, as if some memory or impression was awakening in his mind as well.
Lawrence turned his head again and looked at the chaotic clouds and the dim and hazy skylight behind the clouds whose source could not be seen. The skylight seemed to be evenly spread out, and there was no sign of a clear, strong light body in the clouds.
He looked away and stared at his first mate:
The first mate could only repeat the captain's words in confusion: "Where is the sun?"
Lawrence murmured softly,
The first mate slowly raised his head and looked at the vast sea outside the ship's side, with confusion and fear in his eyes.
But suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something.
A piece of land appeared on the sea.
It is a small island.
