Chapter 356: Old Sentinel Toros-Vic enters a sweet dream
In front of Su Wen.
The lighthouses tower into the sky, decorated with dim stone carvings from the 18th century and classical copper decorations that have long been rusted by the sea breeze, as if the Spanish port of Algeciras has been replicated here.
But compared to the church lights that dispersed the dark tide.
Can these old coastline guards, which are only used to guide directions, play any role in such thick fog?
It's not just that he retains some legitimate doubts.
Even in the lookout room on top of the coastal lighthouse.
The drowsy old man leaning on the wooden deck chair probably also remained a little confused.
now.
The old gramophone in the house was playing "The Road To Cairo" which was popular in the 1970s on the West Coast of the United States.
But the old man was almost asleep.
Or.
He has fallen asleep.
He didn't notice anyone approaching from behind.
The next second.
Su Wen came behind him but did not disturb the old man.
He just used his spiritual energy to activate the runes that Famir had studied and handed over to him with graceful movements.
In an instant.
The lavender field lingering in the entire room within his field of vision was replaced by dark blue.
(It seems that the fifth-level Sleeping Cult runes that Famir guided me to draw are indeed useful.)
He thought silently.
Then I thought about it.
(It seems that the foreshadowing laid out by these cultists in advance is not completely worthless.)
Su Wen helped the old man, who didn't know he had fallen into the cultist's blood sacrifice trap, out of danger.
"Unlike the tide of believers who want your life, I saved you.
But the reward is just:
‘Answers to three questions.’”
He asked calmly to the old caretaker Toros-Vic who had fallen into a deep sleep,
“Where is the old dockyard Langstre-Babbage now located?”
I heard Mr. Detective ask this question.
There was a subconscious hint of fear and struggle on Old Toros's face, but in the end he gave an answer numbly:
"He is on the shore of the deep sea, at the lowest location in the entire Starfall Port."
This answer is specious.
For a pioneer like Su Wen, the results are not instantly comparable.
But he kept thinking and asked a second question:
"Who is the organization working with the Tide Sect?"
"A group of sentinels who escaped from the deep sea.
They betrayed their oaths.
Me too.
I betrayed them, and I am also a traitor."
I heard the old caretaker say this.
Su Wen suddenly understood why those people got the key to the old dock.
But the problem is:
Does the Great Library know that the sentinels at Starfall Port, the first route in the Lost Sea, have betrayed them?
He suddenly thought of the mysterious Captain Jerome and Famil's father in the Wiltings - the doctor of deep sea and occult science who had published many important articles about the Lost Sea in the [Great Wall] forum.
.
He shook his head:
There is still too little known evidence.
But Su Wen believes that the deeper connection is worthy of further investigation.
then.
He asked the third question:
"What exactly did you see in the deep sea?"
Hear what Su Wen said.
Watcher Toros-Vic could not stop trembling.
His voice shook as he responded with a combination of words that couldn't even be called a sentence:
"Eternal Night, the Faceless Ones and the Kingdom of Eternal Night.
die.
In a lightless land, not even 'them' can escape.
The wise men are all wrong.
The Silver Sea and the knowledge we seek are tainted.
We are no longer record keepers of the Great Library."
Immediately afterwards.
The old man fainted and leaned on his recliner.
But he just fell asleep, not dead.
All that was left was the thick, whispering fog beside the rusty windows of the old lighthouse, and the lighthouse beam of Tyndall's light path could clearly be seen in the far end of the fog.
The Road To Cairo hasn't stopped spinning on the vintage record player.
And what he just said was reflected in Su Wen's ears.
The system prompt also appeared as expected:
[In-game plot advancement]
[Obtained broken clues: ‘Faceless Man’ in the Kingdom of Eternal Night, ‘Weakening Silver Tide’ in Eternal Night]
Su Wen did not expect that he could rarely find the term "Kingdom of Eternal Night" in various ancient Lost Sea documents and even in the database of the Wiltings.
Surprisingly, we met here with great clarity.
He suddenly realized that the secret buried in the deep sea of the first route of the Lost Sea might not be so easy to crack.
in other words.
Although he got a complete ocean-going ship, he still lacked a pilot who had experienced these things.
At least.
He is a ‘sentinel’ who can stay awake.
Su Wen smiled calmly and gently,
"Very good, I have another target for the next action."
For an observer like him who can draw the fifth-level abyss formation with his bare hands at the second level without being affected by any 'evil god's restraining power'.
‘mental pollution’
Probably not as scary as the thick fog in the Lost Sea.
But he has not forgotten what needs to be done now.
Now that under the guidance of Famir, the ‘fifth-order inversion array’ he drew has been successful.
So.
It’s time to give those ‘conspirators’ an unplanned ‘surprise’.
He silently put the shabby cloak hanging not far from the fireplace on the old caretaker.
Then he turned and left,
"Toros-Vic
Lovison's last words are among the few people he can trust.
He has always repented of his cowardice.
But in fact, no matter what happened in the Kingdom of Eternal Night, he who did not accept the Tide Plan was one of the few who did not betray."
Maybe until now.
The old sentinel Toros-Vic finally entered a sweet dream where he no longer felt guilty amid the murmurs of his sleep.
at the same time.
Su Wen also sent the first answer given by the old caretaker to Jiang Menghan and asked her to ask Rendell on his behalf:
[He is on the shore of the deep sea, the lowest location in the entire Starfall Port. 】
The lady in the clock shop thought for a while.
Later.
She looked at the parchment map of Starfall Port and thought for a while before suddenly realizing:
"Could it be,
The outlet of the entire port’s groundwater system?
I heard that some residents discharged sewage privately last year, so the sewers in half of the area were controlled."
Hear this answer.
Su Wen's micro-drone swarm immediately dispersed and rushed towards the map location:
But the next second, his split-screen image turned into a mess of snowflakes:
[Strong magnetic field source detected]
[Data transmission interrupted]
[The spiritual tide digital wave shows irregular rhythm,
[The existence of star clusters or irregular quasars, the tidal influence of ‘pollution core’]
He calmly said in the team voice:
"Yes, it is consistent with the physics in the old shipyard ruins."
Hear Su Wen’s analysis.
The iceberg girl said softly:
"Let me go. You still have to get to the main lighthouse of Starfall Port. You don't have enough time."
Hear the profound meaning contained in her gentle words.
Su Wen pondered.
He didn't want Jiang Menghan to get hurt.
But he also understood that compared to being protected.
The girl wants to do something more to prove that she can move forward with herself.
The two of them had such a tacit understanding.
Tacit understanding:
Even if it's a white lie, it will only create a barrier.
After five minutes of silence.
He nodded:
"The memories Lovison left behind in the ruins have illuminated Grand Engineer Langstre's weaknesses.
Next actions.
Be careful.
Get back the heart of the 'differential meter' mechanical clock.
so.
The entire Deep Dark Tide Ceremony is in our hands."
