When the storm comes, mortals will flee in all directions due to the roar of thunder. However, thunder itself does not care about the attitude of mortals. Its roar only comes from its own existence, just like the existence of the Lost Homeland, which is enough to interfere with the order of the entire Infinite Sea. Under this premise, it is meaningless to consider whether "Captain Duncan" cares about being regarded as a heretic by the mortal church. This overestimates the influence of worldly beings on the shadow of the warp.
And think about it from another angle, the image of the Lost Homeland itself in the eyes of the civilized world does not seem to be much better than that of a "heretic"...
I will discuss this matter with Helena, Banster and Frame, the three popes, Rune said to Morris, "There will definitely be doubts and panic in the main group, but the attitudes of the four of us should soon be unified. Regardless of the source of the news, at least the warning itself needs to be taken seriously."
I knew you would look at this rationally, Morris said with a hint of relief in his voice, "You are still the same as you were back then."
"You are very different from what you were then, Morris."
Rune sighed, "When I first heard that you had fallen into a slump, many people sighed and lamented. I didn't expect you to bounce back so quickly, and I didn't expect that you would become a member of the Lost Homeland. To be honest, there are very few things that shock me in the past thousands of years. This is the most shocking thing to me."
"Life on the ship is actually not bad, even 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 all kinds of things I have heard of before."
"You now sound like a crew member who is very proud of his ship."
Lu En couldn't help but ask, "I'm really curious, what on earth were you doing on that ship?"
Moss was silent for half a minute, and many things came to his mind, teaching the Deep Demon, the Cursed Doll, and the Demon Contractor, sailing in the spirit world, eating the offspring of the deep sea, reading with the Sun Fragment, watching the latter braise all kinds of heresy that ran out of the book every day!!!
Positive and healthy academic research, Morris said seriously.
"Oh, that sounds good,"
Rune nodded but couldn't help but remind, but I still want to say that you should be vigilant. Perhaps as you said, Captain Duncan has really regained his humanity, but as a mortal, living on the Lost Homeland and living with a warp shadow day and night is a dangerous thing in itself. You should be cautious in contact with all unknown things to avoid affecting your spirit and cognition.
"Thank you for your reminder, teacher. But please rest assured. You know that I have always been a cautious student. Even when I was conducting the most dangerous research in the academy, I would always be fully prepared and no accidents have ever happened to me."
Lu En, who had returned to his desk and sat down, fell silent upon hearing this. The old elf could not help but recall the time when Morris was studying at the Academy of Truth many years ago. Be careful!
There are indeed many cautious students in the academy, but everyone has a different understanding of this word. There is a type of student who, when seeing dangerous books, will immediately try to isolate and seal the books and stay away from them. This is called caution. There is another type of student who, when exposed to forbidden knowledge, will immediately drink half a pound of mixed potion, wear amulets all over their body, and then prepare three pistols of the largest caliber. They also call this caution!
The second type of students have a high chance of sudden death, but as long as they survive, they will often achieve great success. The most outstanding legendary scholars of the Academy of Truth are often of this type. But even among the most legendary group of people, none of them can reach the level of running to the Lost Homeland and chatting and laughing with a subspace evil god.
Liang was silent for a long time, and the old elf behind the desk finally broke the silence: "Morris..."
"Teacher, please tell me..."
“You’re doing great things.”
“Thank you for your expectations.”
"No, what I mean is that if one day you get into too much trouble, you must tell me in advance. I will help you if I can, but if I can't, I can run away."
The connection established by psychic communication was broken, and the resonance at the level of thinking and perception also receded like a tide. Rune narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the departure of his former apprentice. He did not completely relax until he was sure that Morris' consciousness was safely out of the psychic channel. However, a faint, strange noise, like the low whispers of countless people, still lingered in his mind and gradually dissipated after a long time.
Feeling the impact of the noise on his mind, Rune couldn't help but sigh softly. He was on the verge of permanent madness, but he still maintained his sanity. This was really incredible. Was this also the influence of the boatman
Talking softly to himself, this old elf who might be the most knowledgeable mortal shook his head, and then sat quietly at the desk, as if waiting for someone to visit him.
He did not wait for long. The vague sound of waves suddenly appeared in his mind and gradually merged into clear waves, followed by the call of fire and death. Lu sighed in these calls, then glanced at the alchemical container on the table next to him that was still reacting. After confirming that there was enough remaining material in the container, he gradually calmed down. This study was the ritual site where he held the psychic communication ceremony.
All the quaint and solemn bookshelves, tomes, and alchemical devices on the desks here are items needed to perform the ritual. Darkness surged up, and then dissipated like fog. At the end of the deep and dim passage, the figures of the three popes of the Deep Sea, Death, and Firebringer emerged.
Rune walked through the passage and came to the three old friends. He nodded slightly and greeted them. Before they could speak, he took the initiative to say: "It seems that you have also received the news."
"Banster and I each received a message from our saints," said Deep Sea Pope Helena, pointing to the silent and tall figure opposite her.
Frame was new, and we had just time to make a rough outline of
, the situation told him, the tall figure called Frem nodded gently, he is the leader of the Firebringers, the representative of the Eternal Flame "Tarekin" in the world. From the appearance, he may be the most eye-catching one among the four popes, with an unusually tall body, gray and tough skin like rock, and the metallic texture on the skin surface. The texture shows his race. He is a strong Senjin, wearing a dark gold robe representing the identity of the Firebringer Pope.
, with short gray hair and angular features, looks taciturn and extremely serious. Over the past period of time, this Firebringer Pope has been patrolling the borders of the civilized world with his own patrol fleet.
He rarely attends gatherings of the foursome, and this was his first appearance in recent times.
"I don't quite understand the situation yet," Frame began, his voice so deep it seemed to come from stone.
I have no saints here who have been kidnapped onto that ship.
Helena frowned strangely upon hearing this and whispered, "Our saints were not kidnapped... They contacted Captain Duncan, they were wary of Captain Duncan, they identified with Captain Duncan, and they joined Captain Duncan."
Frame glanced at Helena, his expression still as still as a stone. "I think he got there by turning his head."
Helena: "..."
Seeing this, the tall, thin, and old Death King Banster coughed twice and said, "This is not the first day you have known Frame. He has always been like this."
"All right."
Helena was speechless for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Today we are not here to discuss the saints being kidnapped on board. What we are here to discuss is the warning from the Lost Homeland."
Rune raised his head: "Do you have any questions?"
"have."
Helena said immediately, her eyes fell on Rune, "I want to know, what are those huge biological organizations under the city-state? From the description, that thing is very similar to the Leviathan and the behemoth that supports the church ark... Are they the same thing?"
"The four church arks were all built by the Academy of Truth, and the technology to resurrect and control Leviathan was also developed by you," Banster then looked at Lu and spoke.
"But you have never revealed where you found the bodies of the Leviathans, nor have you revealed the connection between the Leviathans and the underlying structure of the city-state... We have reason to believe that the Academy of Truth holds some special truths."
Frame did not speak, but maintained his stone-like face and stared calmly into Rune's eyes.
However, facing these three pressured gazes, Rune simply spread his hands calmly, "I don't know what is under the city-state either."
"you do not know."
Helena widened her eyes slightly. "The Academy of Truth has resurrected four Leviathans, but you said you don't know what the Leviathan at the bottom of the city-state is?"
Rune just calmly asked back: "The Storm Goddess Gemona is the Queen of Leviathan - as the Storm Goddess's favored one, do you know more than me?"
Helena frowned and said nothing, "I believe you
You should have tried to ask the Leviathan that carries the Cathedral of Storms, but it probably can't give you any answer, because even they themselves don't know the affairs of their own species."
Rune sighed and shook his head gently.
The history of the world has been shattered. Even the behemoths from ancient times cannot clearly recall what happened before the Great Annihilation. Did you know that Captain Duncan even gave this phenomenon a name
He called it the 'horizon limit' in the time dimension!
