Chapter 247 Warm Days
Chapter 247 – Warm Days
Vision 001, which had risen from the Sea of Blood since the disappearance of the Cretan Ancient Kingdom, replaced the sun of the old era and shone on this world in the Deep Sea Era.
For 10,000 years, this huge body of light has been operating like eternity, not only bringing light and heat to the world, but also bringing the stable order of daytime – without it, there wouldn’t be a city-state civilization today, and even the entire world would be shrouded in a terrifying perpetual night, and I’m afraid that the earthly beings who have lost the shelter of the Cretic Ancient Kingdom would have long ago disappeared silently in some ancient age.
No one would have thought that Vision 001 would one day go wrong, just as no one had considered whether the Boundless Sea would dry up one day.
However, it seems that the “eternal” sun is not really eternal.
First, the sunrise was delayed by fifteen minutes, and then there was the almost indistinguishable gap in the runic circle……. All of these disturbing messages indicate one thing: the life of Vision 001 is actually limited!
Duncan stood next to the window and silently watched the bright skylight illuminate the street, while the tumultuous thoughts in his mind churned like a storm.
Notice that the sun change is by no means the only one, the world is full of intelligent people, ordinary people may not pay attention to the changes in the head, but the authorities of the various city states as well as the church must have someone always keep an eye on the world s biggest vision, now, there should have been people who have noticed the changes in the sun …… How will they think? How would they react? Would anyone know what was happening?
He also thought of those crazy sun worshipers, those cultists who worshiped the ancient real sun …… They were all day long chanting that the vision in the sky 001 was a sinful “false sun” and that the sun would fall someday! …… Do they know that something is really wrong with the sun?
Or is the change in Vision 001 really related to those sun worshippers and the heirs of the sun behind them?
In all fairness, Duncan actually does not think much of those sun cultists, because no matter whether it is an ordinary cultist or a slightly more powerful sun heir, in his eyes are similar, belonging to a little bit of the stuff, but that fire in the city of Prand reminded him that ordinary cultists may not be much, but the “creeping sun wheel” behind them has a very high level. There is a very high level, coupled with a group of godless preachers of the end of the water, as well as such as historical contamination, reality overlay such strange and strange and indefensible evil things, who knows that the gang of sun worshippers are not really capable of affecting the operation of the vision of 001 …….
After half a day of rambling, Duncan finally decided that he should contact Vanna when he had the chance – the other party was a high-ranking member of the church, and should be well aware of the movements on the church’s side, so he could discuss the solar matters with her.
By the way, it would also show his friendly attitude and his concern for the security of the city-state.
Of course, remember to knock on the door the next time you go over there.
While thinking so, Duncan detached some of his mind to focus on the situation over at the cathedral, and then suddenly froze.
He sensed that Tirian had left the cathedral and …… was moving towards the southern part of the Upper City.
After roughly confirming Tirian’s direction of advance, Duncan frowned slightly.
He thought of something else in his plan.
Doing a little thinking, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the counter.
Alice was plopped down next to Sherry, grabbing a pencil and writing something very, very carefully in a white paper notebook.
At this moment, there was bright sunlight shining through the glass window of the antique store, over the antique furnishings on the shelves into the store, the sunlight sprinkled down on the shoulders of the blonde mannequin, as if a layer of warm and soft luster was gilded on Alice’s body, and the sunlight fell down on the counter as well as on the tip of the mannequin’s pencil, bringing an ineffable softness and mysterious atmosphere to the whole picture.
If this is a scene of oil painting, then this scene should have a name – beautiful dolls writing quietly in the warm afternoon sunshine.
Even Duncan was a little dazed by the aptly named scene of light and shadow, and then stepped forward to take a look, and saw that Alice was conscientiously mimeographing an unknown letter – God knows where she started to misspell it, and anyway, the whole sheet of paper was now filled with little circles she’d drawn in a row… …
Noticing the captain’s approach, Alice stops at once, and happily holds up the white paperback to Duncan, “Mr. Duncan, look what I wrote~”
Duncan: “……”
He held back for half a day, looking at Alice’s simple and happy smile, with the oil painting-like impression of the scene just now lingering in his mind, in the end, he still couldn’t say the questioning words directly, and could only nod reluctantly with a taut face, “There …… is progress.”
Although it was completely impossible to tell what was being written.
Alice, however, was very happy, as if she only needed this compliment to be enough, and then looked at Duncan’s eyes curiously, “Do you have any orders?”
Duncan froze for a moment, “How did you know I had something for you to do?”
“You look like this when you have something to order,” Alice gestured at her face as if to demonstrate the look Duncan had just given her, but no one could read her demonstration, “What do you want me to do?”
“You go somewhere, with Aye,” Duncan straightened his expression, looking at Alice with this heartless smile, and thinking about what he was going to do, his mood lightened without even realizing it, “lure a man here.”
“Lead …… to here?” Alice looked confused, “What’s ‘luring’ someone here? Do I need to be knocked out and tied up?” “Where did you learn this from?!” Duncan instantly glared at the mannequin, “Come with me, I’ll show you how to do it ……”
……
Compared to a hundred years ago, the city had indeed changed a lot.
Electrical wiring, new models of gas streetlights, smoother and wider streets, taller buildings, and countless factories and pipelines – scholars and engineers had brought with them the power that could move civilization forward, and that power was causing the city-state to change at a far greater rate than it ever had before, a change that… …one that gave even Tirian, who had seen much of the storm, an oily sense of awe.
But there were also things in this city-state that were still vaguely as he remembered them.
After getting off the bus and thanking and saying goodbye to the church personnel who accompanied him, Tirian took the few sailors he brought with him from the Sea Mist and walked on the streets at the edge of the upper city of Prand, looking at the unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar roads and stores on both sides, he couldn’t help but have a reminiscent look on his face.
“Captain,” one of the sailors looked at his boss curiously, “what are we looking for here?”
“A store,” Tirian said casually, his eyes constantly searching among the street-facing buildings with a strong central city-state style, “a doll store with an elven-style sign.”
“Dolls?” The sailor was a bit surprised, “You still have a hobby?”
Tirian gave his man a silent look, “I have my reasons.”
Another sailor beside him saw the situation and came over, “Captain, why don’t you silence him first …… If you don’t feel comfortable to silence a few of us, it’s fine, you can clean us up after you’re done shopping …… “
“…… I kind of regret bringing a few of you.”
A few sailors then laughed and joked, while while while joking, their gazes had been sweeping over the nearby buildings, looking for the store that fit the captain’s description.
Tirian, on the other hand, shook his head and looked a bit helplessly at these men he had brought with him.
Outside of battle, this was how he got along with his men – it was hard for the world to imagine that the legendary “Iron Lieutenant General” would be such a peaceful person among his men, but Tirian himself knew why.
These men had been with him for half a century – there was no earthly friendship that could exceed this kind of loyalty and trust that had lasted for half a century.
Just then, a sailor’s voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting Tirian’s thoughts.
“Captain, would you see if it’s that one? That what’s-his-name …… mannequin hall across the street is quite personalized.”
Tirian looked up and immediately saw that familiar line of name in a bunch of old stores on the street: the Rose Mannequin Pavilion.
The signboard had changed, the front door had changed, and even the decoration on the front had changed, but the name of the store was the same as it had always been – nostalgic elves, even if they lived in a human city-state that was changing rapidly, would rarely change the name of their store easily.
Tirion suddenly had some trance, yellowed memories floating in the heart, he seemed to see that long, long ago afternoon, his father went to the port to do business, he pulled his young sister sneaked out of the house, brother and sister in the busy big city state wandering dizzy, until confused ran into the store ……
Then there they simply spent the change they had stolen from their father’s money box – the sister reaping the rewards of a full day’s pleasure, and themselves …… can’t seem to remember if they were beaten up or not.
In any case, it was one of the few moments, flooded with pure warmth, in Tirion’s century-long cold memories.
“That’s it,” the great pirate said softly, “‘Mannequinarium’ is the elfin-style nomenclature for a mannequin store.”
With that, he stepped towards the store that seemed to occupy a special corner in his memory.
