Chapter 181 History Scholars Speak of History
What’s the problem? This is a big problem!
Duncan stared blankly at the old gentleman in front of him, and soon realized that Maurice didn’t understand the meaning of the gushing stream of flames he saw in his eyes – the scholar didn’t know about the solar debris, and he probably thought of Nina as another “transcendent being”, such as Duncan’s dependents, or something that also came out of subspace. He probably thought of Nina as another “transcendent being”, such as Duncan’s dependents, or something that had also escaped from subspace.
Maurice did think so, in the instant he saw the gushing flame stream, he took his “student” as a similar existence to Duncan, and as for why this “subspace family” would look like a giant and a flame, he did not think much about it – the subspace family is not a family. He didn’t think much about it – the matter of subspace, evil is normal, anyway, there is no living person in that place, the big brothers are randomly long ……
However, now seeing Duncan’s reaction, Morris finally vaguely realized that the situation may not be the same as he guessed.
“Nina she ……” the old man opened his mouth a little hesitantly, after experiencing the kind of fear and shock he had just experienced, he was surprised that a trace of worry had sprung up again at the moment – worry about his own student.
He himself even felt that this worry was a bit ridiculous, because that a gushing flame stream …… whatever its essence was, it was obviously powerful to an unimaginable degree, such a powerful existence, it could not still be his own fragile and ordinary student.
Duncan shook his head.
“Nina and I are different – she’s an ordinary person, always has been,” he said slowly, his expression very serious, “and she doesn’t know that she’s anything special, and as for that flame stream you mentioned …… that could be ‘something else’.”
“I …… don’t quite understand.”
Duncan looked at Maurice for a while, and finally did not directly bring up the matter of the sun shard, but suddenly changed the topic, “Do you have any understanding of the so-called ‘real sun god’ that the sun worshippers worship?”
“Real Sun God?” Morris frowned, not knowing why the other party suddenly led the topic here, but still quickly replied, “Of course there is some understanding, after all, those cultists have existed for a very long time, and many of their rituals are actually part of historical research.
“The True Sun God is their name for their god, but usually the followers of the Righteous God don’t speak of it that way – we call it the ‘Black Sun’ or the ‘Dark Sun God ‘ and in some of the older texts, there are ancient scholars who refer to Him as the ‘Creeping Sunwheel’.”
“Creeping Sunwheel?” Duncan raised his eyebrows, he had heard of the Black Sun, but the name ‘Creeping Sunwheel’ was the first time he had heard of it, and it was the first thing that made him recall the sight he had seen through the medium of that sun mask – a glorious corona of decayed The ancient gods burned under the corona of splendor.
“Yes. Outside the realm of specialization, few people speak of the name, for it is a record handed down from the time of the ancient kingdoms, whose first manuscripts were written in the Cretan script, which has led to the appellation ‘Creeping Sunwheel’ possessing a certain mystical tendency, and spreading it too widely among the common people might have a bad influence.”
Maurice nodded, explaining the details in this regard, and while talking about the academic field, it was as if he had forgotten about the terrible ‘reality’ behind Duncan, and instead went back to the time when he had visited this antique store many days ago, and had a pleasant conversation with the owner.
He even felt that the buzzing noise in his head had disappeared without him even realizing it.
“The Ancient Kingdom of Crete ……” Duncan, on the other hand, was quite amazed, “That gang of cultists worshipping the Sun God have such a long history?!”
“…… Yes, as incredible as it is, those cultists who worship the Creeping Sun Wheel can even be traced back to the days when the Ancient Kingdom was in its heyday, and considering that today’s Vision 001 – The Sun only rose from the sea after the collapse of the Ancient Kingdom of Crete… … “Morris paused at this point, seeming to be rather torn for a few seconds before continuing, “In fact, orthodox academia and the Church of the Four Gods have been reluctant to discuss this issue head-on – considering that the Visionary Sun rose age, the belief in the Black Sun is actually older than Vision 001 ……”
Duncan didn’t say anything for a moment.
The fact that the Black Sun’s history was longer than that of the Visionary Sun was a very reasonable one, yet one that none of the Four Divine Churches were too willing to admit.
Because admitting this fact meant admitting another thing at the same time – that one of the claims made by those Sun believers was true:
The “real sun god” is the real sun of the ancient times, and the visionary sun that came later is actually a “blasphemous creation” that stole the sun’s authority. “…… So, that group of sun worshippers’ claim is true, before the age of the deep sea, it was their ‘Lord’ who was shining on this world,” after half a minute of silence, Duncan suddenly spoke out. voice, “If we go by the ‘whoever is ancient is orthodox’ standard, they are the orthodox ones.”
“Academia is full of factions and claims, and this is the most deviant of all deviant claims – almost half a foot on the border of ‘heresy’,” Maurice sighed, “but the existence of numerous manuscripts from the Kingdom of Crete makes it impossible to avoid the question.”
“Let’s just pretend that those cultists hold some truth,” Duncan, for his part, shook his head gently, “but that doesn’t change the fact that their beliefs are very dangerous to the world these days; after all, whatever their Lord was like before the Age of the Deep, the state He’s in now… . tsk.”
Morris listened and suddenly reacted.
He snapped out of the placid atmosphere of discussing academic matters with an acquaintance and looked at Duncan in disbelief, “Wait, the implication is …… did you ……”
“Happen to have met once,” Duncan thought for a moment and felt that it was still necessary to come up with some weighty information to talk to the old gentleman, after all, he had already whored so much knowledge from this scholar, and always took advantage of the heart is also too much, “How do you say it . . miserable I can’t even look away, and with no hope of recovery, I don’t think what that group of Sun believers are doing is going to bring their Lord back – rather, I think they’re pushing their Lord in an even more insanely twisted direction.”
He paused and looked across at the old gentleman, “Shall I tell you what He looks like now? Perhaps you can have some spirit ……”
Maurice felt his mind trembling from the moment Duncan began his narration just now, and it was only then that he took advantage of the other man’s brief pause to finally seize the opportunity, and let out a startled cry, “No need!”
Immediately afterward, as if he felt that this was a bit offensive, he hurriedly coughed twice and said with a serious and reverent face, “This is not knowledge I should be exposed to.”
“…… Oh yeah, sorry,” Duncan responded with a start, and hurriedly waved his hand, “Let’s not discuss that topic then. Let’s stick to the Black Sun faith in the real world – those cultists have been trying to find ways to resurrect their Lord, but their simple and crude living sacrifices have never yielded results, so have they ever achieved anything ‘fruitful’ in history? ”
“The Solar Heresy has caused quite a bit of destruction, but when it comes to actually ‘resurrecting the sun’, how is that something that can be done by mortal power?” Morris recalled, slowly saying, “As far as I know, there are only so many times in history that the power of the Black Sun has been recorded as being present on a large scale.
“The earliest record was at the end of the Chaotic Dynasty, due to the large number of historical legacies that piled up for a long time after the collapse of the ancient kingdom of Crete, several city-states constantly erupted in melee and famine, and the sun heresy took advantage of the situation and created a bloody great sacrifice in a city-state called ‘Cajon’, and later on summoned a huge living fireball that floated over Cajon for five days before dissipating, eventually melting the entire city-state into a piece of glass.
“Another occurred in the era of the classical city-states, the exact cause of which is no longer known, and resulted in the disappearance of several small city-states on the edge of the civilized world in a single night – eyewitness accounts show a great luminous fissure in the sky, with a sun-wheel rising in the fissure, and the city-states being plucked up out of the sea by a great gravitational force, and ripped up into long, thin strips before falling into them.
“The most recent one, on the other hand, occurred at the beginning of the New City-State Calendar, and was the strangest of all, for that catastrophe left absolutely no reports of sightings or destruction, no evidence, no records, no one who knew or remembered, and it is not even possible for …… to say in what year exactly things happened, and where they happened where ……”
Duncan listened with a stunned look on his face and finally couldn’t help but speak out, “No one knows it happened? Then how can you call the power of the Black Sun massively present? Do people even know which city-state was attacked?”
“Yes, it’s just so bizarre that it’s beyond the realm of what a normal scholar would study, but my status in the Academy of Truth has given me access to some information about it,” Maurice nodded and said with a serious face, “That event did happen because one morning, the Church of the Fire Bearer’s most sacred ‘Chronicle Pillar’ suddenly had a line appear on it.
“That line mentioned a city-state that didn’t exist at all, and totaled only one sentence:
“Wilhelm’s last summons, the Black Sun has descended from history, and we have failed.”
