Chapter 674 – They’re “communicating”.

Chapter 674: They are “communicating”

For Light Wind Harbor, which had just awakened peacefully from a nightmare, the collective visit of the four parade arks was just like another bizarre but strange dream – things happened too suddenly, even the scholars and consuls of the Academy of Truth didn’t seem to have received the news until the ark was about to arrive, so much so that the citizens of Light Wind Harbor still had a feeling of disbelief until the Church of the Deep Sea’s Storm Cathedral appeared on the surface of the sea, which made them realize that they were still in a state of shock. Church appeared on the sea level, the citizens of Light Wind Harbor still had a sense of unreality.

The church ship of the four gods was really here.

Apart from the “Academy Ark” that had been docked next to Light Wind Harbor since the “Dream of the Nameless” incident, the first to arrive was the Storm Cathedral, the sanctuary of the Storm Goddess Gemona. The church arrived in the early morning of this day, when the brilliant wheel of light of Vision 001 pierced the sky, this huge parade of temples appeared on the sea level from a cohesive fog, and it and its convoy approached from the western part of the city-state, and docked on the coastline when the morning bell struck for the third time.

After this arrived the cathedral ship of the Firebearers, the “Temple of the Firebearers” emerged from the sea with the rising light of Vision 001, as if the light of the sun had fallen into the world, and sailed out of a vision of flaming sunlight and anchored between the Cathedral of the Storms and the Ark of the Academy.

Bartok’s cathedral ship arrived at the end of the day, “Death’s Sanctuary” appeared from a dark fog with solemn bells, its huge shadow grew in the fog, like a huge graveyard from the kingdom of the dead to enter the earth, it and its two escort sister ships — “Meimei”, “Meimei”, “Meimei”, “Meimei”, and “Meimei”. -It docked alongside the Storm Cathedral with its two escorting sister ships, the “Close Eye” and the “Deadly Eye”.

The four cathedral arks, which were as large as small city-states, almost surrounded Lightwind Harbor, and if they hadn’t left some of the escort ships in the nearby sea in advance, their escort fleet could have filled up all of Lightwind Harbor’s coastline – if only a pair of eyes had looked down from the air and seen them from a distance. If there was a pair of eyes looking down from the air with myopia and astigmatism, I’m afraid that they would even confuse the Light Wind Harbor with the nearby Ark of the Patrol, and see them as a huge, continuous cross-shaped island.

In the morning, the city hall of the city state issued a temporary order to blockade the harbor and prohibit navigation offshore, while the Academy of Truth announced that the four major churches would temporarily hold a “special closed-door meeting” in Light Wind Harbor.

After that, there were citizens who gathered near the ports, scrambling to take advantage of the vantage point, wanting to see the majestic appearance of the church ships – after all, the church arks spend most of their time cruising in the secret voyages of the boundless sea, which is difficult for ordinary people to see, and this time, not only did they show up in the city-state, but they even appeared in all four of them together, which is a sight that even a long-lived person would not be able to see. Even elves with long lifespans might not be able to see this kind of sight a few times in their lives.

On the highest tower of the city-state academy near the western coast, Duncan was standing on the terrace looking out in the direction of the coastline.

He had nothing to do anyway, so he watched the church ships of the various churches show up one by one – it was quite a spectacular sight.

“You church arks really are all skillful.” He casually sighed.

“It’s not enough to rely solely on the power of the steam engine to move such a large ‘ship’ swiftly across the sea,” Ted Reel, who was standing on the terrace of the tower with Duncan and blowing in the wind, explained with a sniff, “Each church ark is both a ship and an ark,” he said. Ark is both a ship and a ‘transcendental object’ – the great churches and colleges are more than just decorations, they bring the power of the gods into the realm of reality, causing the Ark itself to take on all sorts of uncanny qualities, such as speeding through storms, traveling through mists and flames or through the dust and fire,” Ted Rill explained. fire, or being invisible to the earthly gaze, calming storms at sea ……”

Duncan turned his head with a bit of curiosity, “And what kind of ‘miracle’ does the Academy of Truth’s Academy Ship rely on for fast navigation?”

“…… Superior engineering skills, building two hundred and sixty engine blocks, and flying with great force.”

Duncan: “……?”

“Making the machinery work, making the theories come true, making paradoxes take effect, that in itself is part of Rahm’s ‘miracle’,” Ted Riel apparently saw the subtle expression on Duncan’s face and couldn’t help but smile, “The same engine block wouldn’t start on any other church ship. “The same engines wouldn’t start on any other church ship, and it’s a testament to their craftsmanship that they didn’t explode on the spot.”

“…… The ‘miracle’ of the gods can be incredible.”

Duncan shook his head with a subtle expression, sighing in a low voice before turning his eyes away, his gaze falling near the distant coastline.

He had seen the “Storm Cathedral” of the Church of the Deep Sea and the “Academy Ark” of the Academy of Truth, but the “Sanctuary of Death” of the Grim Reaper and the “Temple of the Fire Bearer” of the Everlasting Flame were not as impressive as the “Sanctuary of the Fire Bearer”. “But it was the first time that I saw the Death Sanctuary of the God of Death and the Temple of the Eternal Flame Bearer, and just like the other two church ships, these two parade arks were also so distinctive – the

The Firebringer’s Temple gives people an ancient and solemn feeling, the huge base of the ark is dotted with gray and white stone buildings of varying heights, those solemn and mysterious-looking buildings are very different from the common style of contemporary city-states, but more like “ancient temples” recovered directly from some historical paintings, and one of the most eye-catching structures is the The most striking structure is a huge platform in the center of the complex – solemn stone pillars surrounding the platform, the top of the platform is surrounded by a blazing fire, and in the center of the flames, you can see a strange shape of the “giant pillar”, which is very similar to the form of the pillar that Vanna got from the hands of the Tarekim “cane”. The pillar resembles the “walking stick” that Vanna received from Tarekin, and it is obviously the “Chronicle Pillar” that the fire-bearers worship.

The “death sanctuary” is much more gloomy, black color gothic building is the most common “scenery” on the ark, its core facility is a big pyramid like black temple, that temple is located in the center of the ark on the high ground, surrounded by high towers The temple is located in the center of the ark on the high ground, surrounded by towers, exuding a gloomy atmosphere like a grave – the first time he saw it, Duncan understood why many people would simply call the death’s parade ark “the great graveyard”, it was really like it.

And no matter which ark, Duncan saw the floating in the air, ordinary people can not see with the naked eye, as if the spirit of the illusory projection.

He raised his head and gazed at the “spirits floating on the earth” with a watery face.

Like smoke, like mist, tentacle-like illusory limbs diffused out from those spiritual body projections, floating noiselessly over the entire Light Wind Harbor, like chaotic dead souls, they do not interfere with each other, but occasionally there will be some illusory “tentacles” suddenly extended out from their own “main body”, to go to the “main body”. Occasionally, some illusory tentacles would suddenly extend out from their own “body” to touch the tentacles of other arks.

Duncan noticed this kind of “contact”, he instinctively perceived that this kind of hasty contact …… does not seem to be a coincidence, but more like an intentional.

He even felt that the touch of some of the illusory tentacles was like a …… high five.

Some of the “spirits” that came from the direction of the harbor drifted near the college tower and swam around the terrace.

Duncan hesitated, glanced back at Ted Ryer, who didn’t seem to be paying attention, and then quietly rubbed his fingers together.

An illusory flame of the spirit emerged in the air and quietly touched the “Ark Spirits” that roamed the air and were invisible to the mortal eye. In cautious perception, he touched the …… “thoughts” flowing between those “spirits”.

Some strange low noise echoed in Duncan’s mind, and immediately after, those strange low noise really appeared in the information that can be understood, he heard there are not like human whispers are trembling in space and time …… they are “communicating”!
The tremor reached into the depths of his consciousness –

“…… Nice weather.”

“Not bad, this place is hot.”

“It’s better than the north, the tentacles give me a frozen hard-on ……”

“Your wrist is not early to lose all?”

“Phantom limbs.”

“What are they going to talk about today?”

“How should I know – I just woke up.”

“…… Huh? I just woke up too. What the hell are they going to talk about today?”

“…… Don’t ask, they all just woke up.”

Duncan: “……?”

Ted Reel finally noticed Duncan’s suddenly subtle upturned face, and even more so, the vague flicker of illusory flames in the air, and the Truth Keeper tensed at once, “What’s wrong?”

It was better if he didn’t ask, but the expression on Duncan’s face became even more subtle when he did.

But before the Truthkeeper-Secretary could tense up to the point of committing another gastrointestinal upset, Duncan finally tried to control his completely strained expression while forcing the bizarre-to-the-point-of-being feeling in his head to the side – he tried to keep his expression as calm as possible as he glanced up at Tad Reel, ” Does …… Ark talk to each other?”

“Between arks? Talk?” Ted Riel sniffed, “What does that mean?”

The expression on the Keeper’s face didn’t look fake, and Duncan knew at a glance that this was another one of those special “secrets” that were restricted to the core, and then, thinking that even Vanna didn’t know many of the secrets of the Storm Cathedral, he waved his hand decisively, “If you don’t know, it’s all right then.”

Ted Riel instinctively wanted to ask something more, but the moment before he opened his mouth, a warning sign suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.

He wisely kept his mouth shut.

Duncan, on the other hand, changed the topic at the right time, ”The Ark of the Four Gods has gathered, where exactly is the location of the gathering? Within the city of Lightwind Harbor?”

Ted Riel shook his head and explained patiently, “Light Wind Harbor is not suitable for a rally – on the one hand, this kind of rally may affect ordinary people in the city-state, and on the other hand, this rally happened so suddenly that the city-state side didn’t make any preparations, and there are also confidentiality considerations The city-state was not prepared for this rally, and there were also considerations of confidentiality.

“The message I received was to wait for notice, because the matter we are going to discuss this time is straight to the Great Annihilation, and has already touched the foundations of the world, which leads to the fact that even a casual remark made by a certain person in the gathering may trigger unforeseen consequences, and even the Coroners of the Pope must carefully consider the location of the gathering- –

“They are communicating with God’s will through the echoes of spiritual energy on their respective arks, seeking revelation, and the final venue for the assembly should be chosen from among the four arks.”

Duncan waved his hand indifferently at his words, “Good, then I will wait patiently, and hopefully this will not be too long.”

Tad Reel nodded, yet in the very next second, this Truthkeeper’s brow suddenly furrowed – it was as if he had heard a certain voice coming from afar, and the expression on his face instantly became odd.

“What’s wrong?” Duncan noticed this change and asked curiously.

Ted Riel was silent for a few seconds, with a hint of bewilderment in his expression, “…… in the Fifth Ark ……”
