Taran El, an outstanding elf scholar, an expert in mathematics, mechanics, and natural history, is the recipient of four lifetime honors awarded by the Academy of Truth.
A person who studies knowledge, a person who is conscientious, a person who can stay in the laboratory without sleep, a person who always makes Lucrecia worry about whether he will die suddenly at the research site.
Now, in front of everyone, this erudite scholar announced that he was helpless against the geometric light body falling from the sky.
Lucretia raised her head and looked beyond the crystal ball in front of her eyes to the opposite window. The magnificent light was coming from that direction. Even though it was midnight, the entire sea area still seemed to be bathed in "sunlight".
And among the brilliance, the luminous geometric body like a hill is still floating quietly on the sea surface, and its flat wall of light is like a steep cliff, spanning the sky and the sea.
Another small boat crossed the sea filled with light and sailed towards the interior of the luminous geometry, preparing to pick up the research team near the "Stone Ball" who had completed their rotation.
Lucretia sighed, looked away from the window, and looked at the table at hand - a strange-looking, gray sphere was placed on the shelf on the table.
The surface of the sphere is rough, with a texture like rock, with strange undulations and irregular patterns all over its surface. It is unattractive in appearance, but it is filled with an indescribable sense of mystery.
There was a strange "stone ball" with a diameter of ten meters in the center of the huge geometric light body floating on the sea, and what Lucretia saw in front of her... was a miniature and exact replica of the stone ball.
It is almost the only "result" after such a long period of research by a large group of experts and scholars.
"Master Taran El has now returned to Breeze Harbor to rest. Strictly speaking, he was 'bducted' back to Breeze Harbor by his students," Lucretia shook her head and said to the person opposite the crystal ball.
The elder brother said, "If he doesn't rest, he may die suddenly outside - for an elf, dying suddenly at the age of five hundred is really too young.
"When he left, he seemed very depressed, because this 'heavenly thing' was really beyond our understanding. Whether it was the luminous area around it or the nature of the sphere in the center, it was a mystery to us.
"The researchers scraped some samples from the 'stone ball', but the analysis results showed that they seemed to be fine stone powder. There was no progress in exploring the inside of the stone ball - all means failed, including extraordinary
Power, that thing seems to be wrapped in a dense 'shell', hiding all its secrets, and at least until now, we have not made up our minds to conduct destructive...'tests' on it.
"After struggling for so long, we have only reached a consensus on one thing, that is... this huge geometric light body should indeed be something that fell off the rune ring around Vision 001. This is the 'tower' of Qingfeng Port.
According to the conclusion given there, they carefully observed the gap at the edge of Anomaly 001 and found that the missing part was consistent with the 'geometric light body'."
Lucretia talked a lot in one breath, and it was obvious that she had accumulated a lot of annoyance during this period. Tirian was a good listener, and did not interrupt her sister during the whole story, until Lucretia
After Thea's words fell, he spoke slowly: "Has it been confirmed that it is the part that fell off from Vision 001... Lucy, her father had warned the Four Gods Church about this before. He said, 'The Sun
'Probably heading into recession."
"I heard about this," Lucretia nodded slightly, "no one dared not take the warning from 'Captain Duncan' seriously, although most people did not take it seriously after hearing the warning.
The reaction was all nervousness and fear about the Lost Home..."
Tirian twitched his lips. As someone who has often met "Duncan Abnomar" recently and witnessed his father's new methods with his own eyes, he couldn't comment on anything at this time. He could only change the subject: "What about your situation?"
Do you have any follow-up plans? Regarding the issue of 'The Sun'..."
"What plan can there be? Throw this big stone ball back into the sky? Re-mount it on the rune ring of the sun?" Lucretia shrugged, "I'm afraid only the ancient kingdom of Crete knows how to repair the sky.
of the sun.”
Tirian stopped talking.
Lucretia suddenly asked again after a moment of silence: "Does father know about my 'research' here?"
"I never told him," Tirian shook his head, "I won't say anything without asking for your opinion... What? You want to ask him for help?"
Lucretia obviously hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be really moved, but soon she shook her head: "I'll think about it again - my father may not be able to help with this kind of thing, and... well,
I'm just a little afraid of him."
"Actually, he is really easy to talk to now," Tirian laughed, "But since you are not happy, then I will not interfere, but I have agreed in advance that I won't tell you if I don't tell you. I don't know when the news will come.
It will reach his ears. After all, he now has connections with the church and the city-state. If he is really interested by then, I will not dare to stop him."
Lucretia waved her hands in annoyance. This "sea witch" shrouded in a mysterious halo in the eyes of outsiders has never been very good at concealing her emotions in front of her family: "I know, I know - don't talk about this.
, when can you give me the spiritual lens you mentioned before?"
Tirian: "..."
Two seconds later, Lucretia's dissatisfied scream sounded sharply from the crystal ball: "You forgot again?!?!"
…
"Tirion, you don't look very good."
Early in the morning, Duncan arrived at Nangang and couldn't help but say something after seeing the tiredness on Tirian's expression.
Tirian rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly: "There are too many things to worry about recently."
This is not an excuse. There are indeed a lot of things to worry about recently. Managing a city-state obviously requires far more effort than managing a fleet, but then again... the impact of being talked about by my sister intensely for two hours on your complexion.
Obviously it is also a factor that cannot be ignored.
However, Tirian soon bypassed this slightly embarrassing topic. He did not mention Lucretia's matter, but straightened his expression: "I called you here so early today because I want to tell you - diving
The device is ready."
Duncan raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "So fast?"
"After considering that the passengers do not need to breathe, many preparations can be accelerated," Tirian nodded, "and the submersible secretly built by the previous Frost government was based on the blueprints of the Queen's era. Although there are
There are many improvements, but the basic principles have not changed much. If you just want to understand how to operate it, it is actually a very simple thing."
Duncan looked at Tirian for a while, then looked away and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, take me there."
"You want to start immediately?" Tirian was a little surprised, "We can do more tests. I invited you here today just to let you see with your own eyes..."
Duncan interrupted: "You should have done some tests, right?"
"...a little bit," Tirian hesitated, "After completing the system verification, I arranged for two undead sailors to conduct a short dive of tens of meters last night, mainly to confirm the operation process and working status of the submersible.
, but nothing went wrong..."
"That's enough," Duncan nodded, turned around and walked towards the warehouse leading to the underground facility, "Just think that I will complete the subsequent testing process myself. Anyway, I still have to carry out the formal deep-diving operations."
Tirian was stunned for a moment and could only quickly follow Duncan's footsteps. On the way to the facility in a hurry, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
I don't know if it was an illusion... He always felt that his father looked a little worried today, and his anxious look was different from before.
It was as if he suddenly noticed some clues or came across some huge secret. He was driven by an eagerness to uncover the mystery and explore the truth.
And this hurried look... gave Tirian a vague sense of familiarity.
The burly figure wearing a black coat walked quickly in front of him, and Tirian also walked quickly, trying hard to keep up behind him.
The latter looked at the back of the former. As he followed step by step, he suddenly realized the source of this sense of familiarity——
This feeling is just like many years ago.
When clues to some ancient ruins are found, when a brand new route appears on the sea map, when news about mysterious phenomena in border areas suddenly reaches the civilized world, my father will be like this at that time.
This is what he looked like when he was preparing to embark on a long voyage.
The long-lasting yellowed memories surfaced uncontrollably from the depths of his mind, and the scenes of setting sail with his father in the past emerged before his eyes. In the overlapping images, Tirian's steps subconsciously slowed down.
Duncan stopped and turned his head to look here doubtfully.
"Tirion, what are you doing? Come up."
Tirian was startled, then hurriedly stepped forward and agreed hastily: "Ah...oh, good father!"
Duncan turned around and continued walking forward, not paying much attention to Tirian's reaction just now.
Because a sense of urgency to explore the world came up again, constantly urging him.
This sense of urgency stems from what he gained yesterday when he explored the brass key, and from the sudden unveiling of the mysterious veil of this world——
The huge spaceship that crashed into this world in a lost era is called the "blasphemous prototype" and is a creation of an ancient civilization originating from a hidden history. It is a deep mystery that even great scholars like Morris have never touched.
There are too many unknown things, and the clues that appear by chance make people more aware of the entangled secrets of this world, like layers of curtains.
Therefore, any exploration opportunity to take steps towards the truth of the world is extremely precious.
