In many cases, Nina is actually unable to realize the powerful strength she possesses and the deterrent effect of this strength among ordinary extraordinary people.
This certainly helps her maintain her "human" mentality, but it definitely has its downsides!
After all, a 6000C big bag is a big deal no matter where it is!
Fortunately, Duncan had been paying attention to this issue from the beginning, and often guided and reminded Nina. He made the girl understand the danger of her own power in time, and found a way for her to learn to control the power of the sun step by step. At least now Nina has gradually become familiar with and recognized the facts.
To her, this world is an exquisite but fragile paper house that will burn up if she is not careful.
She had to carefully control her breathing and gaze to prevent everything from turning to ash!
It now seems that Nina's understanding and control of her own power is successful.
Except for the extremely occasional and minor "out-of-control" incidents
Besides, she has never burned anything else. On the other hand, she has always maintained her "cognition" as an ordinary human being and has not developed an arrogant and dangerous mentality change due to realizing her own strength!
Duncan thinks this is great!
The dark sea surface slowly rose and fell in the field of vision. There was no obvious boundary between the chaotic sky and the sea. The ghostly lights surrounding the Lost Homeland illuminated the nearby sea surface. Occasionally, strange and suspicious shadows could be seen where light and shadow intertwined.
Flashing through the air or water, they were the "natives" of the spirit world. These chaotic and unintelligent beings were attracted by the intruder, the Lost Hometown, but as soon as they gathered together, they would be burned by the flames of the spirits and then flee in all directions!
Nina ran to the edge of the stern deck, sat directly on the deck, dangling her legs over the railing, and curiously observed this strange and interesting "sea" in her eyes!
Duncan reminded Nina to be careful and not to fall off the deck, and then continued to focus on learning how to steer. After a while, he suddenly thought of a question!
"Vanna." He turned his head and glanced at the Inquisitor who was standing on the edge of the platform overlooking the sea.
"I suddenly have a question about the Storm Goddess!"
Fanna immediately turned around and said seriously: "Excuse me!"
"Gemona, the goddess of storms, is the protector of the sea, right?"
Duncan said, "The entire Infinite Ocean is under the protection of the Storm Goddess, so what about the ocean in the spiritual world?"
The serious expression on Fanna's face instantly turned into astonishment, followed by more than ten seconds of embarrassment and contemplation. After a long time, she hesitated and shook her head, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have never thought about this question. After saying this, she began to reflect on herself."
"It seems that my study of the Way of Faith is still too superficial. I have prayed all day but have not thought seriously about these scriptures.
Details after…”
"It is normal that there are no such details behind the scriptures, because since the establishment of the Deep Sea Church, there has been no situation where mortals can move freely in the depths of the spiritual world."
Morris said casually: "Doctrine is a tool used to explain the truth of the gods to mortals. It only represents the known part of the truth of the gods, not all..."
"And where did the original 'doctrine' come from?"
Duncan asked again, "When the city-state was first established and the faith of the Four Gods was first born, who wrote the initial doctrine and used it to explain the logic of how the world works? Was it the mortal who first preached the doctrine or the four gods?"
This time, Morris fell into deep thought!
Duncan continued: "According to the current interpretation of the scriptures by the Four Gods Church, the doctrine can only come from God, right?"
"Yes." Morris nodded. He seemed to have quickly organized his words and answered Duncan's question. 'Doctrine' is the part of truth, which reflects that its source comes from the gods. According to the more commonly accepted view, it was the first Cretan prophets who received the enlightenment of the gods. The thoughts of the gods entered their minds, and they naturally wrote down the first teachings in their enlightenment. After that, there were hundreds of years of "the age of self-manifestation of truth" and "the age of revelation". Generations of prophets were enlightened and recorded the knowledge, which eventually formed the current doctrines and classics of the four gods...
Duncan did not speak for a while, but thought very seriously. After a long time, he broke the silence again: "Are there still such enlightened prophets who can write new doctrines and truths?"
Morris and Vanna looked at each other in bewilderment!
"As far as I know, no more."
Morris shook his head. "Saints can hear the voice of God, but it is usually just a vague hint or reminder. The 'prophet' who can communicate directly with God in real time as recorded in history has never appeared since the end of the Dark Ages!"
On the contrary, those cultists who follow the Black Sun or the Deep Lord often claim that a prophet has appeared among them, but as you know, the "prophets" they speak of are often just lunatics who have suffered from mental pollution...
"That is to say, at least during the period between the Cretan Dynasty and the Dark Ages, the gods were able to frequently contact the mortal world."
Duncan said thoughtfully that they could even communicate with qualified mortals for a certain period of time, but since the city-state era, their connection with the world had been only vague "hints".
Listening to Chuan Chang's words, which seemed to be full of profound meaning, Fanna's expression was somewhat strange. She couldn't help but said, "I... have never thought about it in this direction! Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Why are you asking these questions suddenly...
Duncan was silent.
In the silence, what emerged in his mind was the picture he saw in Tirian's office not long ago - the moon!
In the world he knew, there were no four gods on the moon, no boundless sea protected by the goddess of storms, no world wounds hanging high in the sky, and no stars or demons hidden in the deep sea!
Ever since he saw the picture of the moon, his heart has been restless, and countless speculations about this world... almost filled his mind!
"I just suddenly became interested in the oldest secrets of this world."
He spoke slowly, then exhaled softly and nodded to Vanna and Morris, "I have read the 'warning' you are going to convey to the Deep Sea Church and the Academy of Truth. There is no problem. Go contact your Sea Church headquarters!"
Although they were still somewhat confused and a little worried about Chuan Chang's worried look, Morris and Vanna did not ask any more questions. Instead, they lowered their heads at the same time and said, "It's Chuan Chang!"
Lucrecia wakes up from a series of chaotic, bizarre, horrifying nightmares!
She looked out the window. The thick curtains blocked the light outside. Only a little golden afterglow shone through the gaps in the curtains, making the room shadowy. The familiar furnishings in those dark corners also seemed to have a strange atmosphere, as if the remaining power of the nightmare had infiltrated the real world and was curled up and dormant between the light and shadow!
Kou Hankongcui's voice came from beside him!
"hostess?"
The weird and scary rabbit toy sat up from the side, tilted its head, and looked at Lucrecia with its button-stitched eyes. A little girl's voice came from its cotton-stuffed body!
Lucrecia casually pulled the bunny doll over and hugged it, rubbing it hard, then looked up at the window and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's still an hour until your usual wake-up time."
The bunny doll was rubbed obediently by the mistress, and at the same time seemed to observe Lucrecia's face. "You are not in a good mood. You slept very restlessly just now... Did you have a nightmare again?"
“Dreaming of some weird things… ..”
Lucrecia rubbed her forehead and let go of the bunny doll.
"Pour me a drink!"
"Okay," the doll agreed obediently, jumping from the bed to the floor, taking out a wine glass from the small cabinet next to it, and pouring half a glass for its mistress, while asking curiously, "What did you dream about? Is it because... the old master is coming, so you feel uneasy?"
There was a hint of nervousness in the little girl's voice. It was obvious that she felt a great deal of pressure when she mentioned the word "old master"!
Lucrecia took the wine glass handed to her by the doll and drank it.
After that, Chang exhaled: "I dreamed of the previous scene where the Brilliant Star almost crashed because it was too close to the border fog. But unlike what I remembered, our ship fell out of the fog and flew all the way up, falling straight to the World's Creation. There were also many ships that were twisted into various shapes and fell from the whole world into the sky...
Absurd and weird!"
As she spoke, she casually threw the wine glass to the bunny doll next to her: "He is coming soon. This does make me a little nervous, but this nervousness will not turn into a nightmare. Rabbi, he is my father after all!"
"Yes, mistress." The rabbit doll immediately lowered its head obediently, but then couldn't help reminding, "But you should still be careful. Having a nightmare on the ship is not a good sign. The old master... after all, has something to do with the subspace, and he is approaching you now!"
"I understand!" Lucrecia said casually, then she got up from the bed, walked barefoot to the window, and pulled open the heavy curtains. The warm and bright "sunlight" instantly filled the entire room!
The sun had not yet fully risen, but the huge luminous geometric object floating on the sea not far away had already maintained "eternal daylight" for the entire sea area for a long time!
Lucrecia squinted her eyes, bathing in the endless 'sunshine'.
The rabbit doll's voice came from behind: "Madam, are you going to the stone ball again today?"
"No." Lucrecia shook her head... turned and walked to the dressing table. She was going to the city today to meet an old friend from the Explorers' Association.
Say hello friends!
